The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 567 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 564 from 2:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 25.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor.

Peak hours: 567 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 564 from 2:45 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

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Cherry St between Polson St and Commissioners St, 81 m from the corner, a 3-day count in February 2026 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,400 vehicles a day.

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.
