Avenue & Oxton

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 17, 2003

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,476 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 58% of the total, against 2,872 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 3,400 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 59% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (2,137). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2003, 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: 3,400 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,137 from 5:00 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

The worst year was 2016, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 6 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 28, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jan 26, 2008.

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 2001

On Avenue Rd between Killarney Rd and Hillholm Rd, 116 m from the corner, a 5-day count in May 2001 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 61 km/h or more. That segment carries about 8,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 27 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,697 rental units. The nearest is 50 Oxton Ave (32 m, 32 units, 3 storeys, built 1955), which scored 96 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

27 registered buildings · 1,697 units · 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.

Three thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner 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 Yonge-St.Clair.
