Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 4, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,931 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 43 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (227 of 445). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 830 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 771 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 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

On Castlefield Ave between Duplex Ave and Rosewell Ave, 159 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2012 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,400 vehicles a day. Duplex Ave between Montgomery Ave and Roselawn Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Apr 2011). The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Erskine Ave (250 m away, 30 km/h limit), 3.0% of the 115,287 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
