Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 3, 2024 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,411 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 167 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (88 of 129). Evening rush dominates here: 1,296 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 852 in the morning peak from 9:30 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 was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Danforth Rd between Hart Ave and Linden Ave, 371 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2019 put the average speed at 57 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 75 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,100 vehicles a day. Magnolia Ave between Summer Dr and Corvette Ave measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Sep 2003). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Danforth Rd (249 m away, 50 km/h limit), 8.4% of the 174,511 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

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

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
