Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 23, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 5,490 southbound vehicles, or 58% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,391. Most cyclists arrived from the north (112 of 254). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 892 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 826 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Whitmore Ave between Marlee Ave and Times Rd (215 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 24-hour count in January 2015; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Marlee Ave between Beltline Trl and Roselawn Ave measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Eglinton Ave W (248 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 8,464 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.
