Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 23, 2024 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 7,164 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 452 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (59 of 99). Evening rush dominates here: 1,453 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,084 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 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 22 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 Midland Ave between Lord Roberts Dr and Wainfleet Rd, 140 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,900 vehicles a day. Gilder Dr between Midland Ave and Eglinton Ave E measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Jul 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Midland Ave (120 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.5% of the 51,182 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Nov 6, 2014.

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

47 thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 8.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 24 in 2023–2025, about 8.0 a year, against 3.4 a year before that. 72% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 5 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 9, 2026.
