Forest Hill & Larratt

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 21, 2008

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 481 westbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 65. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 148 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 150 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 13.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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: 148 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 150 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2024 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 29% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 12, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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

The City's counter on Forest Hill Rd between Forest Hill Road Park Trl and Larratt St (102 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 1,400 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.

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.

26 registered apartment buildings with 1,072 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner. The nearest is 50 Oxton Ave (454 m, 32 units, 3 storeys, built 1955), which scored 96 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

26 registered buildings · 1,072 units · tallest 17 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Forest Hill South.
