Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 9, 2024 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,572 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 700 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (31 of 63). Evening rush dominates here: 2,263 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,497 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 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 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Albion Rd between Sanagan Rd and Kipling Ave, 171 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2025 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 27,000 vehicles a day. Benstrow Ave between Amaron Ave and Honbury Rd measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Nov 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Monterrey Dr (348 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.9% of the 16,311 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

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

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 8, 2010.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
