Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 8, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 7,289 eastbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 3,324. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,038 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 39% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,465). Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 14 months 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

The City's counter on St Clair Ave E between Andrew Ave and Brimley Rd (132 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 24-hour count in January 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 15,600 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Brimley Rd · St Clair Ave E – Minerva Ave · 101 mNov 2013 · 3 days4,355
St Clair Ave E · Andrew Ave – Brimley Rd · 132 mJan 2023 · 24 h15,62646 km/h52 km/h55 km/h

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. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on May 1, 2010.

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

Toronto Police place ten thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 1.0 a year before that. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Apr 14, 2026.

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.
