Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Apr 29, 2014

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,275 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 107 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,222 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,016 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Islington Ave between Beaumonde Heights Dr and Humber River Recreational Trl, 128 m from the corner, a 3-day count in February 2020 put the average speed at 63 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 70 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 75 km/h or more. That segment carries about 26,200 vehicles a day. Beaumonde Heights Dr between Taysham Cres and Monterrey Dr measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Jun 2018). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Islington Ave · Beaumonde Heights Dr – Humber River Recreational Trl · 128 mFeb 2020 · 3 days26,24763 km/h70 km/h75 km/h
Beaumonde Heights Dr · Taysham Cres – Monterrey Dr · 184 mJun 2018 · 3 days87235 km/h43 km/h47 km/h

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
