Traffic volume8-hour count · May 1, 2019

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,788 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 144 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 892 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 895 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 892 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 895 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

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jan 25, 2016.

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 Merton St between Yonge St and Lane E of Yonge and S of Merton, 41 m from the corner, a 3-day count in July 2019 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Al Green Lane measured slower: 16 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 25 km/h (Nov 2019).

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.
