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 · Jun 25, 2022 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,800 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 346 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (198 of 416). Evening rush dominates here: 932 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 650 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 650 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 932 from 2:00 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 2009

On Wineva Ave between Isleworth Ave and Williamson Rd, 234 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2009 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
