Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 26, 2026 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,380 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 28% of the total, against 3,248 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,651 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:45 p.m., against 954 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 954 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,651 from 6:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 Church St between Alexander St and Maitland St, 267 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Alexander St (227 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 55,240 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Is Church & Carlton a walkable intersection?
