Carlingview & Fasken

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 19, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 2,525 vehicles entering from the north to 2,978 from the south. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,731 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 60% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,082). Trucks and buses were 11.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.

Peak hours: 1,082 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,731 from 4:30 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

2019 was the peak year (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 4% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 19, 2026.

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 2019

The City's counter on Carlingview Dr between Dixon Rd and Constellation Crt (322 m away) recorded an average of 58 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 67 km/h. That segment carries about 11,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Fasken Dr between Carlingview Dr and Hwy 427 N measured slower: 52 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 62 km/h (Sep 2014).

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.

Toronto Police place five thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 West Humber-Clairville.
