Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 10, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 707 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 346 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (39 of 80). Evening rush dominates here: 245 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 101 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 months 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

On McRoberts Ave between Lane N of St Clair and E of Caledonia and Lane S of Norman and E of Caledonia, 140 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2025 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
McRoberts Ave · Lane N of St Clair and E of Caledonia – Lane S of Norman and E of Caledonia · 140 mJun 2025 · 3 days1,32928 km/h35 km/h39 km/h

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

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