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 21, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 123 and 147 vehicles. Evening rush dominates here: 65 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 60 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 60 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 65 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).

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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Indian Trl between Lane W of Alhambra and S of Indian Trl and Indian Rd, 343 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2005 put the average speed at 32 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 400 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Indian Rd between Lane S of Bloor and W of Indian Rd and Bloor St W measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 36 km/h (Aug 2024) — 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.
