Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Sep 4, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 1,322 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 120. Morning rush is the busier period: 516 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 340 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Shallmar Blvd between Shallmar Parkette Trl and Bathurst St (187 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 5-day count in November 2003; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day. Mayfair Ave between Eglinton Ave W and Vesta Dr measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Oct 2017). The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Chaplin Cres (182 m away, 30 km/h limit), 29% of the 58,719 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Shallmar Boulevard between Bathurst St and Mayfair Ave (installed 2005), and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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
