Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 21, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 2,962 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 66. Most cyclists arrived from the east (579 of 1,194). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 656 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 28% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (512). Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Harbord St between Grace St and Joe Pantalone Lane (161 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 7,200 vehicles a day. Clinton St between Harbord St and Page St measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Oct 2025). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Harbord St (162 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.8% of the 45,951 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Clinton Street between College St and Harbord St.

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 two thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 57% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.
