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 · Sep 26, 2011

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,648 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 358 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,433 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,497 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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 2013

On Park Home Ave between Blenheim St and Senlac Rd, 132 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in August 2013 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Senlac Rd between Betty Ann Dr and Ellerslie Ave measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Mar 2009).
