Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 23, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 7,788 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 504. Most cyclists arrived from the north (149 of 303). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,457 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,281). Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Royal York Rd between Thompson Ave and Glenroy Ave (132 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 7,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Leland Ave between Sevenoaks Ave and Allan Park Rd measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Apr 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
