Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 9, 1999

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 966 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 365 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 457 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m., 55% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (294). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 28 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1999, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On George St between King St and Fern Ave, 116 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2019 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 46 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. King St between George St and Rosemount Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Jun 2023). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on George Street between Fern Ave and King St.

Traffic calming

    3 speed humps

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

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

36 thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 6.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
