Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Nov 22, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,114 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 839 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (401 of 707). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,007 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 996 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

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

On Dundas St E between Broadview Ave and Lane E of Broadview and N of Dundas, 233 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2017 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,000 vehicles a day. Carroll St between Matilda St and Doris Anderson Crt measured slower: 20 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Nov 2022). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Broadview Ave (213 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 208,455 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Carroll Street between Dundas St E and Matilda St.

Traffic calming

    3 speed humps

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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

Six thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.
