Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 2, 2024 · weekend

The east leg carries the load — 6,906 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 289. Most cyclists arrived from the east (152 of 265). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,298 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (941). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 941 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,298 from 3:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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

The City's counter on Danforth Rd between Birchmount Rd and Hibberts Dr (358 m away) recorded an average of 54 km/h in its 2-day count in June 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 17,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. North Woodrow Blvd between Zenith Dr and Dunlop Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Oct 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Danforth Rd (328 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.0% of the 83,775 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
