Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Apr 19, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,186 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 169 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,339 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,074 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Finch Ave W between Endell St and Ancona St, 198 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2005 put the average speed at 60 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 69 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 77 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,000 vehicles a day. Clarkhill St between Finch Ave W and Lanbrooke Ave measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Apr 2023). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Finch Ave W (129 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.7% of the 5,816 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jun 4, 2009.

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
