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 · Sep 13, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 235 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 80 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 126 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 110 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.5% 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 4 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.
Peak hours: 110 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 126 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.
How fast traffic moves here
On Combe Ave between Elder St and Wilmington Ave, 97 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in July 2004 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Elder St between Kennard Ave and Pannahill Rd measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Apr 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Combe Ave · Elder St – Wilmington Ave · 97 m | Jul 2004 · 24 h | 636 | 40 km/h | 49 km/h | 54 km/h |
| Elder St · Kennard Ave – Pannahill Rd · 225 m | Apr 2024 · 3 days | 748 | 38 km/h | 47 km/h | 53 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.
