Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 30, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 14,203 southbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 470. Most cyclists arrived from the north (70 of 129). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,254 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,218 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 22 months 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 Victoria Park Ave between Belmore Ave and Deanvar Ave (59 m away) recorded an average of 77 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 96 km/h. That segment carries about 30,200 vehicles a day. Deanvar Ave between Victoria Park Ave and Bellvare Cres measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Dec 2010). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Deanvar Ave · Victoria Park Ave – Bellvare Cres · 44 mDec 2010 · 24 h45130 km/h38 km/h41 km/h
Victoria Park Ave · Belmore Ave – Deanvar Ave · 59 mSep 2019 · 2 days30,25077 km/h96 km/h139 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.
