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 · Sep 7, 2017

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,090 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 289 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,635 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,404 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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 2017

On Glen Park Ave between Capitol Ave and Dufferin St, 138 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2017 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
