Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jun 16, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,208 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 1,135 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the north (32 of 69). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 977 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 39% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (705). Trucks and buses were 5.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Lesmill Rd between Valleybrook Dr and Duncan Mill Rd, 199 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2000 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,900 vehicles a day. Valleybrook Dr between Lesmill Rd and Moatfield Dr measured slower: 10 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 16 km/h (Feb 2001). The reading is 26 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Moatfield Dr (360 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 3,882 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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

Ten thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.1 a year before that. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 1, 2026.
