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 · Nov 26, 2002

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,092 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 44 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,238 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 788 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 24 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2002, 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.

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 2018

On O'Connor Dr between Warland Ave and Wolverton Ave, 129 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2018 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more.
