Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 2, 2024 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,573 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 242 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (44 of 90). Evening rush dominates here: 1,617 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 1,082 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% 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 Saturday, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Tansley Ave and Carslake Cres, 397 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2015 put the average speed at 60 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,400 vehicles a day. Savarin St between Danforth Rd and Thicketwood Dr measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Mar 2026). The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Savarin St · Danforth Rd – Thicketwood Dr · 162 mMar 2026 · 3 days48632 km/h40 km/h46 km/h
Danforth Rd · Tansley Ave – Carslake Cres · 397 mSep 2015 · 24 h15,40060 km/h68 km/h74 km/h

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

The worst year was 2021, with 15 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 20 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 7 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.
