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 east leg. The north leg carries the load — 7,617 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 201. Most cyclists arrived from the south (62 of 121). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,465 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 55% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (944). Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

The City's counter on Danforth Rd between Winter Ave and Falmouth Ave (76 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 19,000 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Danforth Rd (60 m away, 50 km/h limit), 11% of the 205,263 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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
