Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 15, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,755 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 745 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,439 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,313 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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 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: 1,313 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,439 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 15 collisions. 31 collisions (40%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Feb 1, 2019. 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 Generation Blvd between 95 Generation Blvd and 115 Generation Blvd, 396 m from the corner, a 2-day count in October 2019 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Dean Park Rd between Braymore Blvd and Red River Cres measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Nov 2023). At the school-zone speed sign on Dean Park Rd (224 m away, 30 km/h limit), 3.7% of the 119,207 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

Speed sign

Dean Park Rd (westbound), 224 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 24 km/h, 85th percentile 34 km/h; 3.7% at 40 km/h or more. 119,207 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 12 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 645 rental units. The nearest is 41 Generation Blvd (116 m, 12 units, 3 storeys, built 1975), which scored 80 out of 100 at its September 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 83, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

12 registered buildings · 645 units · tallest 16 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

No thefts from vehicles and one bike theft 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 West Rouge.
