Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jan 20, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,622 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 194 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 418 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 11% above the afternoon peak from 3:30 p.m. (375). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Dartnell Ave between Lane N of Bridgman and E of Howland and Davenport Rd, 125 m from the corner, a 5-day count in August 2008 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 46 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. Bridgman Ave between Kendal Ave and Dartnell Ave measured slower: 22 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Mar 2018). The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Dartnell Avenue between Bridgman Ave and Davenport Rd.

Traffic calming

    3 speed humps

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
