Ferris & Rexleigh (South)

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 31, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The north leg carries the load — 169 southbound vehicles, or 59% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 2. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 51 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 24% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (41). Trucks and buses were 27.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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: 41 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 51 from 4:15 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 3 collisions. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Ferris Rd between Ferris Cres and Curran Dr (375 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Chapman Ave (321 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 34,900 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 O'Connor-Parkview.
