Civic Rd & Prudham Gt

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 29, 2007

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 976 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 744 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 363 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 312 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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: 312 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 363 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2006

On Civic Rd between Warden Ave and Prudham Gt, 120 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2006 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,100 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.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Ten thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 0.9 a year before that. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 14, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Clairlea-Birchmount.
