Hilldale & Orman

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 12, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 765 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 12 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 178 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 127 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 127 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 178 from 3:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

How fast traffic moves here

On Hilldale Rd between Garrow Ave and Humber Blvd, 232 m from the corner, a 3-day count in January 2020 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Orman Ave between Symes Rd and Hilldale Rd measured slower: 22 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 28 km/h (Feb 2001). At the school-zone speed sign on McCormack St (217 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 12,512 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
