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 · Aug 7, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,474 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 2,009 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (60 of 104). Evening rush dominates here: 2,386 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,763 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,763 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,386 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

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 Bloor St W between The West Mall and Renforth Dr, 360 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2020 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Neilson Dr between Neiltree Crt and Radway Ave measured slower: 48 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 55 km/h (Nov 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Rossburn Dr (379 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 5,530 vehicles logged in June 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
