Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jun 7, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 911 eastbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 549. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 391 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (351). Trucks and buses were 7.5% 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 16,183 vehicles. 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

The City's counter on Varna Dr between Walkway N of Lawrence and E of Varna and Tundra Lane (232 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h.

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
