Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 15, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,678 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 34% of the total, against 4,724 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,556 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,273 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 months 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

On Dupont St between Lane W of St George and S of Dupont and Huron St, 221 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2004 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Spadina Rd between Bernard Ave and Dupont St measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (May 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
