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 30, 2014

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,576 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 100 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,931 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 11% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (1,742). Trucks and buses were 15.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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 2017

On St Clair Ave E between Waltonice Rd and Andrew Ave, 331 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2017 put the average speed at 62 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 69 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Chine Dr between Basildon Cres and St Clair Ave E measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Oct 2014).
