Traffic volume

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

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,836 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 766 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,189 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,177 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Don Mills Rd between Van Horne Ave and Seneca Hill Dr, 170 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more.

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. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Feb 23, 2008.

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
