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 · Dec 14, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,379 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 348 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 532 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 50% above the afternoon peak from 2:00 p.m. (355). Trucks and buses were 6.6% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 Wellesworth Dr between Dixfield Dr and Torrington Dr, 106 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2021 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more.
