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 · Apr 2, 2001

The west leg carries the load — 4,921 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 262. Most cyclists arrived from the east (131 of 248). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,677 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,527). Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 26 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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: 1,527 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,677 from 5:00 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2004

The City's counter on Dalhousie St between Dundas St E and Frank Natale Lane (19 m away) recorded an average of 25 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
