Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 28, 2011

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 314 northbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 121. Morning rush is the busier period: 194 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:30 a.m., compared with 107 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 14.5% 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 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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.

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 Glen Albert Dr between Rexleigh Dr and Curran Dr (288 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 24-hour count in December 2000; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. Cedarcrest Blvd between Ferris Rd and Glencrest Blvd measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Mar 2025). The reading is 26 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Chapman Ave (217 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.3% of the 37,517 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Cedarcrest Boulevard between Gower St and Glen Albert Dr.

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
