Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Apr 23, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,230 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 66 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (78 of 125). Evening rush dominates here: 736 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 526 in the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Homewood Ave between Hilda Ave and Crossen Dr, 101 m from the corner, a 2-day count in November 2001 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. Hilda Ave between Drewry Ave and Connaught Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Apr 2026). The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Hilda Ave (397 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 13,052 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
