Danforth & Woodycrest

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 8, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 3,940 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 468. Most cyclists arrived from the east (179 of 337). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,089 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,119 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 1,089 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,119 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

2020 was the peak year (12 collisions), and 2025 closed with 8. 24% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 19 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 14% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 8, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 cyclists were among those hurt. The most recent was on Jun 28, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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.

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.

13 registered apartment buildings with 1,170 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, seven of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 5 Donlands Ave (408 m, 24 units, 4 storeys, built 1930), which scored 78 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

13 registered buildings · 1,170 units · 7 social housing · tallest 14 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 11 thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 1.1 a year before that. 45% 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 Blake-Jones.
