Wilson Heights & Clifton

Traffic volume8-hour count · Aug 10, 2010

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,680 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 77 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 931 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 936 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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: 931 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 936 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Wilson Heights Blvd between Combe Ave and Clifton Ave, 47 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2023 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more.
