Traffic and safety

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

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 2, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 6,360 eastbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 145. Most cyclists arrived from the west (2,746 of 5,465). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,134 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,164 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,134 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,164 from 3:00 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

The City's counter on Bloor St W between Manning Ave and Clinton St (47 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 10,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

At the school-zone speed sign on Manning Ave (229 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 41,783 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
