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 18, 2002

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 218 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 90 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 161 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 42% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (113). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% 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 2011

On Ronan Ave between Glenforest Rd and Snowdon Ave, 49 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2011 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Snowdon Ave between Mount Pleasant Rd and Ronan Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Apr 2011).
