Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 13, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 14,143 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 676 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (45 of 67). Evening rush dominates here: 2,565 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 2,163 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,163 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,565 from 4:00 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2022

On Sloane Ave between Wyndcliff Cres and Cobham Cres, 310 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2006 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Victoria Park Ave between Janet Blvd and Lawrence Ave E measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Sep 2022) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
