Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 19, 2024 · weekend
The north leg carries the load — 8,685 southbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 2,665. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,094 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 42% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,474). Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,474 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,094 from 2:30 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 32 collisions. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 31 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 14 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.

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.

Is Birchmount & Huntingwood a dangerous intersection?

Is Birchmount & Huntingwood a walkable intersection?

Within a walk: 1 park within 500 m · 2 community centres within 800 m; 6 stops within 300 m · 6 routes within 1 km; 7 places to eat within 300 m. The crossing itself: traffic signal.
