Humbercrest & St Mark's

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 2, 2019

The south leg carries the load — 812 northbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 412. Most cyclists arrived from the south (35 of 75). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 429 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 437 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.2% 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 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 429 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 437 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).

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on St Mark's Rd between Watson Ave and Brookside Ave (147 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h.

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.

Five registered apartment buildings with 150 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 15.

5 registered buildings · 150 units · tallest 8 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 one bicycle theft 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 Lambton Baby Point.
