Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Oct 15, 1998

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,358 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 146 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,573 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,609 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 28 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1998, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Oakwood Ave between Clovelly Ave and Gloucester Grv, 138 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2024 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more.

Traffic calming

    3 speed humps

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Dec 3, 2014. 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 Oakwood Village.
