Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Apr 23, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 11,380 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 847. Most cyclists arrived from the south (40 of 75). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,133 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,941). Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 most recent midblock count on Dancy Ave between Kerbar Rd and Kennedy Rd (58 m away, Nov 2007) recorded volume only — about 1,348 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Silver Spring Blvd (270 m away, 30 km/h limit), 5.3% of the 32,293 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jan 1, 2013.

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 18 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 25, 2026.
