Hiltz & Queen

Traffic volume14-hour count · Feb 4, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 4,664 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 288. Most cyclists arrived from the east (62 of 100). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,073 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 978 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.0% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,073 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 978 from 4:45 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

2017 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Jul 17, 2025.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Sep 18, 2015.

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

The City's counter on Hiltz Ave between Dorothy St and Dundas St E (298 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Greenwood-Coxwell.
