Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 14, 2023

The south leg carries the load — 2,504 northbound vehicles, or 79% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2. Morning rush is the busier period: 410 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 332 from 5:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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

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

Toronto Police place nine thefts from vehicles and 11 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.0 a year. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 64% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.
