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 · Dec 18, 2018

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 11,218 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 38 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,098 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,316 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 10.1% 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 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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 2019

On Dundas St W between Paulart Dr and Billingham Rd, 94 m from the corner, a 2-day count in October 2019 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 65 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 70 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Paulart Dr between Markhall Ave and Maypole St measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Oct 2018).
