Cleveland & Balliol

Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 1, 2006

The north leg carries the load — 929 southbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 470. Morning rush is the busier period: 659 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 535 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.1%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 659 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 535 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).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Mount Pleasant East.
