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 2, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,468 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 844 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 556 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 559 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2018

On Glen Rush Blvd between Glengrove Ave and Coldstream Ave, 214 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2018 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more.
