Broadview & Withrow

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 19, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 2,632 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 633. Most cyclists arrived from the north (152 of 262). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 929 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (852). Trucks and buses were 6.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. 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: 852 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 929 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 Withrow Ave between Broadview Ave and Logan Ave (269 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Bain Ave C (138 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 31,980 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Withrow Avenue between Logan Ave and Broadview Ave (installed 2005).
