Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 21, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,933 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 975 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 3,337 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,997 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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: 2,997 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,337 from 5:00 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

The worst year was 2018, with 34 collisions; 2025 recorded 27. 36 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 49 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 10 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 33 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 18, 2026.

Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. All of them involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrians or cyclists. 2 of the 3 happened in darkness — 67%, above the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Oct 5, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 6.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2021

On Green Belt Dr between Don Mills Rd and The Heights Dr, 71 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2012 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Barber Greene Rd between Wren Crt and Embla St measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Oct 2021) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 13 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 614 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 46 Foxden Rd (239 m, 22 units, 3 storeys, built 1958), which scored 88 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

13 registered buildings · 614 units · 1 social housing · tallest 6 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.

Ten thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.0 a year. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.

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 Banbury-Don Mills.
