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 29, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 17,591 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 957 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (51 of 63). Evening rush dominates here: 2,922 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,468 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2014

On Wincott Dr between Pettit Dr and Strathdee Dr, 376 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2014 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more.
