Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 15, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,322 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 182 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 706 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 595 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 13.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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

On Brownlow Ave between Soudan Ave and Eglinton Ave E, 134 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2023 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 36 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 41 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Brownlow Ave (160 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.8% of the 15,183 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Nov 24, 2012.

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

Seven thefts from vehicles and ten bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.7 a year. 57% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 40% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 29, 2026.
