Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 29, 2017

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,104 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 237 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,961 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m., 15% above the afternoon peak from 2:00 p.m. (2,570). Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 2,961 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,570 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

Speeds here, last measured in 2007

On Haddington Ave between Elm Rd and Lane E of Avenue and S of Dunblaine, 122 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2007 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
