Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Apr 23, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 4,885 northbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,476. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 994 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 26% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (791). Trucks and buses were 6.5% 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 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Grenoble Dr between Vendome Pl and Flemingdon Park Trl (269 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 24-hour count in December 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. Spanbridge Rd between Grenoble Dr and Linkwood Lane measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (May 2026). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Grenoble Dr (133 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.9% of the 74,479 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 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

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

Toronto Police place eight thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 88% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
