Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Apr 19, 2006

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 240 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 54 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 91 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 85 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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

On Glenburn Ave between Peard Rd and Adair Rd, 135 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2007 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on St Clair Ave E (367 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 65,472 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none. 1 speed hump slow traffic on Glenburn Avenue between St Clair Ave E and Holmstead Ave, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
