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 1, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,813 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 131 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,452 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,200 in the morning peak from 8:00 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 5 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.

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 2022

On Dundas St W between Quebec Ave and Clendenan Ave, 248 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
