Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jan 17, 2024

The north leg carries the load — 2,258 southbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 47. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 791 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (681). Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Thorncliffe Park Dr between R. V. Burgess Park Trl and Overlea Blvd (327 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 7,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Beth Nealson Dr · Thorncliffe Park Dr – Wicksteed Ave · 36 mSep 2009 · 3 days5,088
Thorncliffe Park Dr · R. V. Burgess Park Trl – Overlea Blvd · 327 mMay 2019 · 3 days7,36336 km/h45 km/h50 km/h

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
