Traffic volume8-hour count · May 2, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,053 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 244 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 751 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 552 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% 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 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 552 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 751 from 4:00 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

The worst year was 2016, with 3 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 4 collisions (27%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%). The most recent report on file is from Dec 29, 2025.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Murray Ross Pkwy between Keele St and York University Busway, 125 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2023 put the average speed at 40 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 6,500 vehicles a day.

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.

Within a kilometre there are two RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 760 rental units. The nearest is 470 Sentinel Rd (861 m, 370 units, 22 storeys, built 1970), which scored 95 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

2 registered buildings · 760 units · tallest 22 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

One theft from a vehicle and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see York University Heights.
