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 · Oct 16, 2019

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,001 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 138 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 366 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 311 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.

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 2010

On Bartley Dr between Sufi Cres and Hobson Ave, 61 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2010 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
