The latest City count averages about 1,820 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 1.57× the median counted intersection.

That comes with about 11 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 3.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. Collisions edged down 7%, from 59 in 2016–2020 to 55 in 2021–2025.

Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only.

Traffic volume

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

The south leg carries the load — 6,489 northbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 883. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,335 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,483 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% 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 most recent midblock count on Don Mills Rd between Leith Hill Rd and Fairview Mall Dr (115 m away, Mar 2010) recorded volume only — about 14,692 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Don Mills Rd · Leith Hill Rd – Fairview Mall Dr · 115 mMar 2010 · 3 days14,692

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Apr 2, 2015.

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

Toronto Police place 33 thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 28, 2026.
