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 · Nov 23, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,907 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 3 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,224 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,261 from 5:00 p.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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

On Danforth Ave between Kalmar Ave and Eastwood Ave, 50 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more.
