Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 23, 2022

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 1,758 vehicles entering from the north to 2,180 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the south (39 of 76). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 651 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (564). Trucks and buses were 13.2% 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 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: 564 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 651 from 4:15 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 Main St between Danforth Ave and Lane N of Danforth and W of Main St (94 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 2-day count in October 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 4,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Palmer St. (325 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 16,726 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
