Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Mar 6, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,434 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 228 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (36 of 63). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,697 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 10% above the afternoon peak from 2:45 p.m. (1,541). Trucks and buses were 7.9% 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 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years 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 Wainfleet Rd and Lord Roberts Dr, 153 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2024 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,600 vehicles a day. Lord Roberts Dr between Wainfleet Rd and Tremely Cres measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Apr 2019). At the school-zone speed sign on Midland Ave (190 m away, 50 km/h limit), 4.9% of the 60,854 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.

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.
