Willard & Hanley

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 5, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 918 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 7 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (93 of 184). Evening rush dominates here: 274 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 226 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 226 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 274 from 5:00 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.
