Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 30, 2024

The south leg carries the load — 10,658 northbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 722. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,209 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,336 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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

The City's counter on Mount Pleasant Rd between Sherwood Ave and Sheldrake Blvd (333 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 11,800 vehicles a day. Erskine Ave between Redpath Avenue Parkette Trl and Mount Pleasant Rd measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Sep 2017). The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Keewatin Ave (167 m away, 30 km/h limit), 7.6% of the 32,975 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
