Comstock & Lebovic

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 15, 2015

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 2,292 vehicles entering from the west to 2,347 from the east. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,152 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 37% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (842). Trucks and buses were 6.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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: 842 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,152 from 4:00 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

2024 was the peak year (17 collisions), and 2025 closed with 14. 6% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 22 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 17 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 30, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2011

The City's counter on Comstock Rd between Faulkland Rd and Lebovic Ave (0 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 4,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Lebovic Ave between Eglinton Ave E and Comstock Rd measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 55 km/h (Apr 2005).

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.

Toronto Police place 17 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 12 in 2023–2025, about 4.0 a year, against 0.7 a year before that. 71% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Clairlea-Birchmount.
