Traffic volume8-hour count · May 25, 2006

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,838 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 62% of the total, against 1 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 569 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 461 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 461 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 569 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 1 collision. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 10, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 30, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Queen St E between Nursewood Rd and Victoria Park Ave, 374 m from the corner, a 2-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Fallingbrook Rd between Fallingbrook Cres and Windsor Ave measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Sep 2024).

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.
