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 · Nov 18, 1998
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,781 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 442 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (36 of 49). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,349 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,406 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.6% 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 28 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1998, 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: 2,349 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,406 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 2022
On Eastern Ave between Lewis St and Dibble St, 42 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eastern Ave · Lewis St – Dibble St · 42 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 22,059 | 50 km/h | 58 km/h | 63 km/h |
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.
