Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, May 21, 2025
The east leg carries the load — 5,852 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,057 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (891). Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
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 Mortimer Ave between Carlaw Ave and Lane W of East York and S of Mortimer (55 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 3-day count in December 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 12,300 vehicles a day. Carlaw Ave between Westwood Ave and Floyd Ave measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Apr 2024). At the school-zone speed sign on Gowan Ave (302 m away, 30 km/h limit), 2.7% of the 30,134 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 9 speed humps slow traffic on Carlaw Avenue between Mortimer Ave and Danforth Ave (installed 2003).

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
2023 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 24% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Oct 7, 2024.

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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
