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 · Dec 13, 2007
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 3,892 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 223. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,385 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,461 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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: 1,385 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,461 from 4:45 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 Ave between Kalmar Ave and Eastwood Ave (218 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 15,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Danforth Rd between Danforth Ave and Patterson Ave measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Jul 2024).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Danforth Ave · Kalmar Ave – Eastwood Ave · 218 m | May 2022 · 3 days | 15,080 | 50 km/h | 57 km/h | 62 km/h |
| Danforth Rd · Danforth Ave – Patterson Ave · 349 m | Jul 2024 · 3 days | 11,973 | 42 km/h | 50 km/h | 56 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
