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 · May 31, 2004

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 478 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 227. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 229 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 103% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (113). Trucks and buses were 17.3% 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 22 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2004, 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: 113 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 229 from 5:00 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 Dentonia Park Ave between Sibley Ave and Lane E of Sibley and S of Dentonia Park (76 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 1,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Eldon Ave between Danforth Ave and Lane N of Danforth and E of Sibley measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Oct 2012) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Victoria Park Ave (378 m away, 40 km/h limit), 13% of the 177,542 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
