Davenport & Belmont

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 9, 2025 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,209 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 73 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (40 of 80). Evening rush dominates here: 1,606 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,163 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 1,163 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,606 from 2:00 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 worst year was 2019, with 24 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 11 collisions (10%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 19 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 7, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Sep 22, 2021. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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 Davenport Rd between Mc Alpine St and Bishop St, 121 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 21,100 vehicles a day. Belmont St between Sarah St and McMurrich St measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Mar 2011).

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.

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.
