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 · Feb 2, 1999

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,664 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 375 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,148 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,232 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.4% 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 28 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1999, 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2018

On Donlands Ave between Davies Cres and Elmsdale Rd, 242 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2018 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more.
