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 16, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,343 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 278 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 904 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 761 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Lumsden Ave between Oak Park Ave and Westlake Ave, 90 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2011 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more. That segment carries about 8,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Westlake Ave between Hamstead Ave and Cosburn Ave measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Apr 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
