Martin Grove & Burnhamthorpe

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 28, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,026 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 864 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,425 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,454 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.

Peak hours: 2,425 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,454 from 4:45 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 26 collisions; 2025 recorded 10. 26 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 17 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 1, 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 13, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 Burnhamthorpe Rd between Shaver Ave N and Warwood Rd, 370 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2024 put the average speed at 54 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 61 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 66 km/h or more. That segment carries about 32,800 vehicles a day. Martin Grove Rd between Goswell Rd and Burnhamthorpe Rd measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Oct 2021).

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.

One theft from a vehicle 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 Islington.
