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 17, 2022 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,045 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 1,845 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,144 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 984 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 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.

Peak hours: 984 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,144 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

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 2005

On Jethro Rd between Wilson Ave and Kirby Rd, 49 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2005 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
