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 · Oct 19, 2022

The west leg carries the load — 2,844 eastbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 233. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,277 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 971 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. 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: 1,277 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 971 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 2011

The City's counter on Gledhill Ave between Lumsden Ave and Barker Ave (98 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2003; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Lumsden Ave between Oak Park Ave and Westlake Ave measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Sep 2011) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.
