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 · Mar 10, 1999
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 327 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 137 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 122 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 123 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 28 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1999, 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: 122 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 123 from 5:00 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.
How fast traffic moves here
On Bala Ave between Ernest Dockray Ave and Jane St, 214 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2022 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more.

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.
