Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Mar 19, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,525 southbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 441. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 686 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 734 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Futura Dr between Grandravine Dr and Driftwood Ave (178 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 24-hour count in February 2002; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. Driftwood Ave between Futura Dr and Yorkwoods Gt measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Aug 2023). The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Grandravine Ave (162 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 46,649 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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
