D'Arcy & Beverley

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 11, 2020

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,158 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 1,019 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (368 of 670). Evening rush dominates here: 858 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 583 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.4% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 583 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 858 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.

Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 13, 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.
