Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Jul 12, 1999
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,655 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 442 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,204 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 848 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 27 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1999, 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: 848 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,204 from 4:00 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 6 collisions. 6 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (11%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 2, 2026.
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.
Traffic on these streets
The City's most recent midblock count on Montrose Ave between Lane N of Dundas and W of Beatrice and Cinder Ave (345 m away, Sep 2020) recorded volume only — about 739 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
