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 · Jun 25, 2022 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,111 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 1,278 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (239 of 540). Evening rush dominates here: 742 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 520 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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: 520 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 742 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 2017

On Greenwood Ave between Kerr Rd and Dundas St E, 299 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2017 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
