Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 30, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 9,617 southbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 4,794. Most cyclists arrived from the west (620 of 1,424). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,623 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 21% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,167). Trucks and buses were 5.2% 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 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,167 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,623 from 4:15 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

2018 was the peak year (64 collisions), and 2025 closed with 11. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 26 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 20 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 21, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Aug 6, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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

The City's counter on Annette St between Mavety St and Medland St (149 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 9,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Keele St between Dundas St W and Lane N of Dundas and E of Keele measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Nov 2024). At the school-zone speed sign on Indian Road Cres (257 m away, 30 km/h limit), 2.8% of the 18,708 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

Speed sign

Indian Road Cres (northbound), 257 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 22 km/h, 85th percentile 33 km/h; 2.8% at 40 km/h or more. 18,708 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

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.

12 registered apartment buildings with 1,380 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2861-2863 Dundas St W (242 m, 16 units, 3 storeys, built 1960), which scored 92 out of 100 at its August 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 12 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

12 registered buildings · 1,380 units · 2 social housing · tallest 30 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.

Toronto Police place six thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 83% 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 Junction Area.
