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 · Feb 21, 2002

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,521 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 94 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,167 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,132 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2002, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On The Westway between Celestine Dr and Brampton Rd, 163 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2019 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Celestine Dr between Powburn Pl and Thelmere Pl measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Nov 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Brampton Rd (393 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.7% of the 14,196 vehicles logged in October 2025 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
