Nancy & Herron

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 6, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 218 southbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 114. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 88 vehicles in the hour from 2:45 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (81). Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 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: 81 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 88 from 2:45 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

2023 was the peak year (1 collision), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Mar 15, 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 2022

The City's counter on Herron Ave between Florens Ave and Broderick Pl (143 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Nancy Ave between Pharmacy Ave and Bertha Ave measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Apr 2019).

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.

Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median 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 Clairlea-Birchmount.
