Traffic volume8-hour count · Aug 26, 2014

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,820 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 551 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 734 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 510 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.3%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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.

Peak hours: 510 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 734 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2023, with 3 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 3 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 26, 2026.

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

How fast traffic moves here

On Bedford Park Ave between Lane W of Yonge and S of Bedford Park and Lane E of Jedburgh and N of Bedford Park, 171 m from the corner, a 3-day count in February 2018 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Jedburgh Rd between Glengarry Ave and Douglas Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Apr 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Bedford Park Ave (86 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 29,274 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Within a kilometre there are 19 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,101 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 15 Bedford Park Ave (218 m, 39 units, 3 storeys, built 1960), which scored 99 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 94, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

19 registered buildings · 1,101 units · 1 social housing · tallest 12 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Nine thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.0 a year. 33% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Lawrence Park North.
