Elm & Dunblaine

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 19, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 880 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 321 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 398 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 249 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 249 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 398 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2013

On Elm Rd between Felbrigg Ave and Haddington Ave, 150 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2013 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 46 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Dunblaine Ave between Elm Rd and Lane E of Avenue and S of Dunblaine measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 41 km/h (Nov 2013).

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.
