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 · Mar 16, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 636 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 14 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 246 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:30 p.m., against 194 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.

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 2019

On Church St between Weston Rd and Cross St, 125 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2003 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 4,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. George St between King St and Fern Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 41 km/h (Apr 2019) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.
