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 14, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 888 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 340 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (268 of 647). Evening rush dominates here: 406 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 273 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 2021

On Hallam St between Concord Ave and Delaware Ave, 50 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
