Dearham Wood & Galloway Rd

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 22, 2014

The east leg carries the load — 609 westbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 247. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 294 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 71% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (172). Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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: 172 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 294 from 4:30 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

2017 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 27% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 18% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 4, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jul 8, 2016.

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

The City's counter on Galloway Rd between Guildwood Pkwy and Dearham Wood (182 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Dearham Wood (210 m away, 30 km/h limit), 26% of the 20,765 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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.

Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Guildwood.
