Clayson & Wilson

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 17, 2022 · weekend

The west leg carries the load — 5,815 eastbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 23. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,938 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 104% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (948). Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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.

Peak hours: 948 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,938 from 4:15 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

2018 was the peak year (25 collisions), and 2025 closed with 14. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 17 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 18 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 17, 2026.

Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The last one inside the window was in 2022. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Aug 10, 2026.

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 2013

The City's counter on Clayson Rd between Wilson Ave and Bartor Rd (385 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 3,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Ten registered apartment buildings with 165 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner. The nearest is 1780 Wilson Ave (434 m, 31 units, 3 storeys, built 1954), which scored 95 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

10 registered buildings · 165 units · tallest 4 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 57% of the vehicle thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.

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 Oakdale-Beverley Heights.
