Danforth & Wolfe

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 2, 2024 · weekend

The north leg carries the load — 7,716 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 287. Most cyclists arrived from the north (60 of 139). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,543 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 53% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,008). Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,008 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,543 from 3:15 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

2022 was the peak year (18 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 23 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 9% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 12 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 7, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Danforth Rd between Winter Ave and Falmouth Ave (295 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 Midland Ave (179 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.2% of the 44,342 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

Speed sign

Midland Ave (northbound), 179 m — 50 km/h zone. Median 47 km/h, 85th percentile 52 km/h; 1.2% at 60 km/h or more. 44,342 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

Seven registered apartment buildings with 1,084 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 10 Gordonridge Pl (61 m, 217 units, 16 storeys, built 1972), which scored 85 out of 100 at its June 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

7 registered buildings · 1,084 units · 3 social housing · tallest 18 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 88 thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 16× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 9.3 a year. 66% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 100% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 23, 2026.

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 Kennedy Park.
