Hove & Brighton

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 28, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 123 northbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 34. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 47 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 47% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (32). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 32 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 47 from 4:00 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

2023 was the peak year (1 collision), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 50% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Nov 7, 2023.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 2021

The City's counter on Brighton Ave between Hove St and Bryant St (86 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2002; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Hove St between Acton Ave and Bitteroot Rd measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Oct 2021) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.

Six registered apartment buildings with 974 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 4455 Bathurst St (633 m, 301 units, 14 storeys, built 1980), which scored 98 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 96, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

6 registered buildings · 974 units · 1 social housing · tallest 21 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 one theft from a vehicle 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 Bathurst Manor.
