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 · May 16, 2019

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,330 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 96% of the total, against 51 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (142 of 180). Evening rush dominates here: 233 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 164 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.9% 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 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 Clinton St between Simonetta Lane and Gore St, 15 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2018 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more.
