Old Park & Old Forest Hill

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 13, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 2,463 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 418. Morning rush is the busier period: 545 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 499 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 545 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 499 from 3:00 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2017

The City's counter on Old Forest Hill Rd between Old Park Rd and Glenarden Rd (74 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 5-day count in November 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Old Park Rd between Ridge Hill Dr and Shallmar Blvd measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2017) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.

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.

41 registered buildings · 2,916 units · 5 social housing · tallest 18 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 two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts 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 Forest Hill North.
