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 · Apr 8, 2009

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,647 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 54 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,481 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,045 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.4% 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 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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: 1,045 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,481 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).

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 2006

On Caledonia Rd between Lawrence Service Rd N and Leswyn Rd, 197 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2006 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
