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 5, 2008

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 622 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 67 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 244 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 154 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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 Dengate Rd between Gerrard St E and Lane N of Gerrard and W of Dengate, 89 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2009 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Musgrave St between Dengate Rd and Victoria Park Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (May 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.
