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 · Jan 10, 2007

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,423 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 97 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,337 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,418 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Dundas St E between Wardell St and Logan Ave, 50 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Dundas St E (248 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 11,385 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
