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 · Nov 12, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 4,131 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 624 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (61 of 118). Evening rush dominates here: 830 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 665 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.9% 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 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Castleton Ave between Lane N of St Clair and E of Mould and Liverpool St, 194 m from the corner, a 2-day count in July 2014 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Pritchard Ave between Lane N of St Clair and E of Batavia and Batavia Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 36 km/h (May 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Rockcliffe Blvd (324 m away, 30 km/h limit), 24% of the 72,364 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
