Traffic volume14-hour count · Feb 4, 2026

The south leg carries the load — 10,914 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 855.

Peak hours: 1,839 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,044 from 5:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.

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