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 · Mar 10, 2020

The west leg carries the load — 5,199 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 682. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,745 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,710 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 12.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 1,745 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,710 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

The City's counter on Lawrence Ave W between Pine St and Lane E of Ralph and N of Lawrence (116 m away) recorded an average of 55 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 65 km/h. That segment carries about 21,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
