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 5, 2017
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 5,079 westbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 142. Most cyclists arrived from the east (119 of 205). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,429 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:30 a.m., compared with 1,221 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 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.
Peak hours: 1,429 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 1,221 from 4:45 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.
How fast traffic moves here
The City's counter on Dundas St W between Dupont St and Watkinson Ave (65 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 2-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 16,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Indian Road Cres (226 m away, 30 km/h limit), 2.8% of the 18,708 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
