O'Connor & Machockie

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 19, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 9,262 westbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 58. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,879 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (2,424). Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, not today's volume. 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: 2,424 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,879 from 5:00 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

2020 was the peak year (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 33% of collisions here involved an injury. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Mar 7, 2021.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

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.

Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Old East York.
