Grenview & King Georges (East)

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 23, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 1,409 westbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 250. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 364 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (331). Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 331 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 364 from 5:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Kingsway South.
