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 19, 2015

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,563 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 58% of the total, against 219 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 529 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 406 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2019

On Erie St between Rustic Rd and Grovedale Ave, 238 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2019 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Falstaff Ave between Ernie Lustig and Rainbow Park Trl - Erie St measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Jan 2015).
