Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jan 14, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 10,492 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 365. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,942 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,966 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% 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 Dufferin St between Schell Ave and Beltline Trl (284 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 27,300 vehicles a day. Livingstone Ave between Times Rd and Jimmy Wisdom Way measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (May 2024).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dufferin St · Schell Ave – Beltline Trl · 284 mMay 2025 · 3 days27,25736 km/h48 km/h54 km/h
Livingstone Ave · Times Rd – Jimmy Wisdom Way · 390 mMay 2024 · 3 days1,81633 km/h42 km/h46 km/h

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 Dec 30, 2011.

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 two thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.
