Finch & Tiffield

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 31, 2012

The east leg carries the load — 5,859 westbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 549. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,949 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,011 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.3% 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 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, 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: 1,949 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,011 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

2019 was the peak year (25 collisions), and 2025 closed with 15. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 20 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 21, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Apr 6, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 2018

The City's counter on Scottfield Dr between Middlefield Rd and Finch Ave E (256 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 3,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

One registered apartment building with 186 rental units stands within a kilometre of the corner, it is social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 23 Thunder Grv (1.0 km, 186 units, 18 storeys, built 2021), which scored 97 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

1 registered building · 186 units · 1 social housing · tallest 18 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 16 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.6 a year. 69% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on May 12, 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 Agincourt North.
