Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Aug 7, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,474 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 2,009 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (60 of 104). Evening rush dominates here: 2,386 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,763 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years 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 Bloor St W between The West Mall and Renforth Dr, 360 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2020 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,100 vehicles a day. Neilson Dr between Neiltree Crt and Radway Ave measured slower: 48 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 55 km/h (Nov 2021). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Rossburn Dr (379 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 3,091 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.

All police-reported collisions

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 Nov 30, 2013.

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
