Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 4, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,066 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 1,276 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (282 of 662). Evening rush dominates here: 493 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:15 p.m., against 301 in the morning peak from 9:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Dovercourt Rd between Humbert St and Argyle St, 153 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 24 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 31 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 35 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
