Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 13, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 296 eastbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 167. Morning rush is the busier period: 159 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 144 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

The City's counter on Beresford Ave between Colbeck St and Beresford Park Trl (220 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. Ardagh St between Willard Ave and Evans Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Oct 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Runnymede Rd (111 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.8% of the 113,408 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.

Killed or seriously injured

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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
