Dengate Rd & Lane N of Gerrard and E of Dengate & Lane N of Gerrard and W of Dengate

Traffic volume8-hour count · Aug 1, 2017

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 778 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 13 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 208 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 152 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.8% 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 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 152 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 208 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

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2009

On Dengate Rd between Gerrard St E and Lane N of Gerrard and W of Dengate, 32 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2009 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.
