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 20, 2006

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 422 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 109 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 161 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 99 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Langley Ave between Logan Ave and Lane E of Logan and S of Riverdale, 381 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2012 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Pape Ave between Lane N of Austin and E of Pape and Lane S of Gerrard and W of Pape measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Nov 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Langley Ave (89 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 4,341 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Langley Avenue between Pape Ave and Carlaw Ave.
