Martin Grove & Rexdale

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 17, 2022 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,489 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 3,610 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,269 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,429 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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.

Peak hours: 1,429 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,269 from 2:00 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 2019, with 75 collisions; 2025 recorded 55. 97 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 64 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 16 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 39 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 21, 2026.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2019

On Martin Grove Rd between Bethridge Rd and Rexdale Blvd, 369 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2019 put the average speed at 64 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 73 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 79 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

37 thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 6.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 3.7 a year. 54% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 14, 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 West Humber-Clairville.
