Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 15, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 724 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 66% of the total, against 378 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 179 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 128 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Superior Ave between Stanley Ave and Queens Ave, 177 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 37 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 700 vehicles a day. Cavell Ave between Superior Ave and Station Rd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Nov 2021). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Stanley Ave (365 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.6% of the 111,124 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Superior Avenue between Lake Shore Blvd W and Cavell Ave.

Traffic calming

    4 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.

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
