Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 24, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 18,871 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 10,387 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,582 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,411 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 4,582 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,411 from 5:15 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 2017, with 55 collisions; 2025 recorded 35. 54 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 23 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 10 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 17 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2026.

Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 3 pedestrians and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Apr 4, 2024.

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 Wilson Ave between Saunders St and Belgrave Ave, 339 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,600 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Wilson Ave (136 m away, 40 km/h limit), 12% of the 214,602 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

Speed sign

Wilson Ave (eastbound), 136 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 40 km/h, 85th percentile 49 km/h; 12% at 50 km/h or more. 214,602 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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 19 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,130 rental units — two social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2200 Avenue Rd (102 m, 152 units, 16 storeys, built 1969), which scored 99 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 97, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

19 registered buildings · 1,130 units · 2 social housing · tallest 16 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.

Ten thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 70% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Bedford Park-Nortown.
