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 · Nov 13, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,939 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 1,295 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 780 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 642 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Hilldale Rd between Garrow Ave and Humber Blvd, 87 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. At the school-zone speed sign on Humber Blvd S (189 m away, 30 km/h limit), 9.6% of the 24,888 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
