Brookmount & Queen

Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 18, 2002

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,219 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 187 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,138 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,183 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 24 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2002, 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: 1,138 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,183 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).

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

On Brookmount Rd between Queen St E and Lane N of Queen and W of Brookmount, 24 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2010 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Joseph Duggan Rd between Walkway S of Queen and W of Joseph Duggan and Lane S of Queen and W of Joseph Duggan measured slower: 21 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Nov 2008). At the school-zone speed sign on Queen Street E (275 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 16,558 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 1 speed hump slow traffic on Joseph Duggan Road between Boardwalk Dr and Brookmount Rd.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 21, 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 The Beaches.
