Markham & Progress

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 30, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 13,170 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 36% of the total, against 5,234 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 5,354 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 4,917 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 4,917 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 5,354 from 4:00 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 2017, with 131 collisions; 2025 recorded 90. 169 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 83 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 20 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 65 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 29, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 19, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 3. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Progress Ave between Estate Dr and Markham Rd (45 m away, Mar 2015) recorded volume only — about 13,009 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.

Within a kilometre there are nine RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,029 rental units — three social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 50 Tuxedo Crt (257 m, 378 units, 15 storeys, built 1971), which scored 86 out of 100 at its September 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

9 registered buildings · 2,029 units · 3 social housing · tallest 19 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.

33 thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 15 in 2023–2025, about 5.0 a year, against 2.6 a year before that. 61% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 29, 2026.

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 Woburn North.
