Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 8, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 6,803 southbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 2,805. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,736 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,832 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Donlands Ave between Memorial Park Ave and Cosburn Ave (19 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 2-day count in January 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 7,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Donlands Ave (103 m away, 40 km/h limit), 7.2% of the 175,303 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 ten thefts from vehicles and 13 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 3.0 a year before that. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 62% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
