High Park & Humberside

Traffic volume8-hour count · Aug 27, 2020

The south leg carries the load — 1,068 northbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 352. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 480 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 43% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (336). Trucks and buses were 10.8% 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 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 336 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 480 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 5 collisions. 32% of collisions here involved an injury. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 21% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 27, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 cyclist involved), the latest on Aug 27, 2026.

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 Humberside Ave between Pacific Ave and Lane E of High Park and N of Humberside (105 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 6-day count in August 2000; 85% of drivers were at or under 51 km/h. That segment carries about 1,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 26 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. High Park Ave between Humberside Ave and Annette St measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Oct 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Clendenan Ave (280 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.7% of the 17,322 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

Speed sign

Clendenan Ave (southbound), 280 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 27 km/h, 85th percentile 33 km/h; 1.7% at 40 km/h or more. 17,322 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

28 registered apartment buildings with 4,692 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 95 High Park Ave (452 m, 217 units, 15 storeys, built 1969), which scored 98 out of 100 at its August 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 28 scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

28 registered buildings · 4,692 units · 3 social housing · tallest 30 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 five thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 0 in 2023–2025, about 0.0 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from other premises; 60% of the bike thefts were from other premises.

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 High Park North.
