Royal York & Trehorne

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 10, 2022 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,643 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 438 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,108 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 750 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 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: 750 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,108 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Royal York Rd between Lane N of Chapman and E of Royal York and Trehorne Dr, 123 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2026 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,700 vehicles a day. Trehorne Dr between Duffield Rd and Tallon Rd measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Mar 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.
