Humberwood & Morning Star

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 22, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 4,256 southbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 3,333. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,136 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,166 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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: 1,136 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,166 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

2019 was the peak year (10 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 25% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 17, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jan 30, 2023.

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 Humberwood Blvd between Hullrick Dr and View Green Cres (323 m away) recorded an average of 53 km/h in its 24-hour count in January 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 8,400 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 Humberwood Blvd (237 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.2% of the 82,418 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.

Toronto Police place no thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 West Humber-Clairville.
