Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 6, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 46 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 24 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 35 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 169% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (13). Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2012

On Hugo Ave between Perth Ave and Lane W of Perth and N of Hugo, 51 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2012 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more.
