Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Feb 3, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 268 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 99 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 66 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 62 from 6:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 66 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 62 from 6:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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
On Hiltz Ave between Dorothy St and Dundas St E, 97 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2009 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Hiltz Avenue between Dorothy St and Dundas St E.

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.
