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 · Oct 22, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 692 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 311 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (38 of 80). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 459 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 71% above the afternoon peak from 2:30 p.m. (269). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Clendenan Ave between Annette St and Lane S of Dundas and W of Clendenan, 280 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2022 put the average speed at 22 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 30 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 35 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Jennings Ave between Clendenan Ave and Lane W of Clendenan and S of Jennings measured slower: 21 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Oct 2023). At the school-zone speed sign on Clendenan Ave (69 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.7% of the 17,322 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.
