Don Mills & Godstone

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 28, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,356 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 88% of the total, against 22 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,191 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 870 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% 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: 870 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,191 from 4:30 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 9 collisions. 6 collisions (9%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 19 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 28% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Jan 31, 2008.

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 Don Mills Rd E between Godstone Rd and Godstone Park Trl, 130 m from the corner, a 2-day count in December 2019 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Godstone Rd between Lisburn Cres and Kempsell Cres measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Oct 2021).

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.

The nearest is 40 Godstone Rd (203 m, 176 units, 16 storeys, built 1965), which scored 92 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

19 registered buildings · 3,303 units · 1 social housing · tallest 19 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.

Six thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on May 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 Don Valley Village.
