Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Feb 28, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 6,372 southbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 977. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,771 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,492). Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Fairview Mall Dr between Don Mills Rd W and Godstone Rd (125 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 12,300 vehicles a day. Esterbrooke Ave between Shaughnessy Blvd and Don Mills Rd W measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Nov 2024).

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

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Nov 28, 2023. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.
