Caledonia & Schell

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 15, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 7,060 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 124. Most cyclists arrived from the north (37 of 71). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,280 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,282 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,280 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,282 from 4:00 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

2018 was the peak year (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Nov 5, 2024.

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

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 2017

The City's counter on Caledonia Rd between Bowie Ave and Schell Ave (71 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 24-hour count in December 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 15,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Schell Ave between Montcalm Ave and Snider Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Mar 2017).

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.

Nine registered apartment buildings with 485 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 502 Gilbert Ave (591 m, 23 units, 3 storeys, built 1960), which scored 91 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

9 registered buildings · 485 units · 1 social housing · tallest 21 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 three thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 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 Briar Hill-Belgravia.
