Gloucester & Isabella

Traffic volume8-hour count · Aug 13, 2007

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,679 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 86% of the total, against 275 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (64 of 104). Evening rush dominates here: 342 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 284 in the morning peak from 8:15 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 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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: 284 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 342 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 2019

On Isabella St between George Hislop Park Trl and Church St, 140 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2019 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Gloucester St between Church St and Jarvis St measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Oct 2019).

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.
