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 · Aug 7, 2014

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 534 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 315 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 189 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 170 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 16.7% 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 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2021

On Paul David St between McAdam Ave and Cartwright Ave, 76 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more.
