Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 28, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,052 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 619 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 3,038 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 8% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (2,808). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% 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: 3,038 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,808 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 2024, with 15 collisions; 2025 recorded 11. 25 collisions (23%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 7 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 13, 2026.

Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Oct 6, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Parkway Forest Dr between Village Greenway and Nebula Starway, 361 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2022 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Forest Manor Rd (245 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 12,917 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Forest Manor Rd (northbound), 245 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 27 km/h, 85th percentile 32 km/h; 0.0% at 50 km/h or more. 12,917 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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 21 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 4,376 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 95 Havenbrook Blvd (143 m, 198 units, 14 storeys, built 1967), which scored 92 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

21 registered buildings · 4,376 units · 1 social housing · tallest 25 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.

30 thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 3.1 a year. 67% 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 Henry Farm.
