Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jan 13, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 1,149 southbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 95. Morning rush is the busier period: 294 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 246 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Old Forest Hill Rd between Old Park Rd and Glenarden Rd (73 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 5-day count in November 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. Glenarden Rd between Ridge Hill Dr and Aldburn Rd measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Jun 2017). The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Old Forest Hill Road between Hilltop Rd and Glenarden Rd.

    5 speed humps

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
