Traffic volume

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

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,978 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 3 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (616 of 1,387). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 658 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 667 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Harbord St between Grace St and Joe Pantalone Lane, 261 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,200 vehicles a day. Manning Ave between Harbord St and Lennox St measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 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 (63 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.

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Six thefts from vehicles and ten bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
