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 · Dec 22, 2011

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,725 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 56% of the total, against 79 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 992 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 886 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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: 886 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 992 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2022

On Randolph Rd between Stickney Ave and McRae Dr, 110 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2015 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 46 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. McRae Dr between Sutherland Dr and Randolph Rd measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 41 km/h (Sep 2022) — 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.
