Elm & Woburn

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 19, 2018

The south leg carries the load — 909 northbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 379. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 482 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 510 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.

Peak hours: 482 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 510 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

Speeds here, last measured in 2021

The City's counter on Woburn Ave between Elm Rd and Avenue Rd (219 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Elm Rd between Lane N of Bedford Park and W of Greer Rd and Woburn Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Sep 2010).

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Six registered apartment buildings with 305 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 312 Douglas Ave (500 m, 11 units, 3 storeys, built 1951), which scored 75 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

6 registered buildings · 305 units · 1 social housing · tallest 7 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place nine thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.4 a year. 78% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 80% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 14, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Lawrence Park North.
