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 · Jun 16, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 303 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 41 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 238 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 250% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (68). Trucks and buses were 7.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 238 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 68 from 4:00 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 2015

On Botham Rd between Stuart Cres and Franklin Ave, 52 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2015 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
