Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,524 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 145 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (72 of 138). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,210 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,203 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

Peak hours: 1,210 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,203 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

The worst year was 2022, with 4 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 2 collisions (13%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (19%).

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Dec 30, 2015.

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

On Marlee Ave between Briar Hill Ave and Stayner Ave, 65 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2011 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Stayner Ave between Benner Ave and Marlee Ave measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 41 km/h (Nov 2009). At the school-zone speed sign on Danesbury Ave (216 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 20,625 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Danesbury Ave (northbound), 216 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 21 km/h, 85th percentile 29 km/h; 0.6% at 40 km/h or more. 20,625 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.

Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Two thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

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 Yorkdale-Glen Park.
