Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 3, 2022 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,503 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 1,955 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the west (154 of 351). Evening rush dominates here: 1,809 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 881 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 881 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,809 from 4:15 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 2021

On Jarvis St between Shuter St and Lane S of Dundas and W of Jarvis, 119 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2021 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
