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 9, 2021

The west leg carries the load — 6,260 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 260. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,860 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 21% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,540). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 1,540 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,860 from 4:30 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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on St Clair Ave W between Castleton Ave and Mould Ave (285 m away) recorded an average of 55 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 64 km/h.
