Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 23, 2009

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,643 eastbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 906. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 634 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 591 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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.

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
