Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, May 23, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 5,490 southbound vehicles, or 58% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,391. Most cyclists arrived from the north (112 of 254). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 892 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 826 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years 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 counter on Whitmore Ave between Marlee Ave and Times Rd (215 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 24-hour count in January 2015; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. Marlee Ave between Beltline Trl and Roselawn Ave measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2026). The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Eglinton Ave W (248 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 8,320 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 30, 2007.

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 seven thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 57% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.
