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 2013
On Lesmill Rd between Duncan Mill Rd and Leslie N, 188 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2013 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leslie St · Bannatyne Dr – Leslie N · 98 m | Nov 2013 · 7 days | 17,438 | — | — | — |
| Lesmill Rd · Duncan Mill Rd – Leslie N · 188 m | Mar 2013 · 24 h | 13,428 | 49 km/h | 58 km/h | 63 km/h |
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.
