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 · Oct 23, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 8,146 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 409. Most cyclists arrived from the west (306 of 613). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,333 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,404 from 6:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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

The City's counter on Willingdon Blvd between Lane N of Bloor and E of Willingdon and Varley Lane (110 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 1,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Bloor St W between Cliveden Ave and Brentwood Rd S measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
