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 26, 2001

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 183 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 79 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 98 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 93 from 4:15 p.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 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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.

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 2002

On Dunkirk Rd between Glebemount Ave and Woodmount Ave, 103 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in February 2002 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Glebemount Ave between Dunkirk Rd and Barker Ave measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Feb 2002).

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.
