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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jul 17, 2015.
