Avenue & Woburn

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 5, 2022

The north leg carries the load — 8,208 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 501. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,462 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,504 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 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: 2,462 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,504 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

2016 was the peak year (10 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 3, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Oct 22, 2017.

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 2021

The City's counter on Woburn Ave between Elm Rd and Avenue Rd (76 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 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.

Three registered apartment buildings with 115 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 312 Douglas Ave (207 m, 11 units, 3 storeys, built 1951), which scored 75 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 83, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

3 registered buildings · 115 units · tallest 7 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.

Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection 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 Bedford Park-Nortown.
