Beverley & Phoebe

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 18, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 1,467 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 255. Most cyclists arrived from the north (345 of 588). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 428 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 436 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. 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: 428 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 436 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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

Toronto Police place 14 thefts from vehicles and 12 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 3.0 a year before that. 64% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 42% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on May 28, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Kensington-Chinatown.
