Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 12, 2017

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,047 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 257 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,307 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,152 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.7% 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 10 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: 1,152 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,307 from 4:30 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 2021, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 10 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (13%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 8, 2026.

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 Floyd Ave between Lane E of Pape and S of Floyd and Woodycrest Ave, 157 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2020 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Gowan Ave (242 m away, 30 km/h limit), 2.6% of the 28,254 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

Speed sign

Gowan Ave (westbound), 242 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 23 km/h, 85th percentile 33 km/h; 2.6% at 40 km/h or more. 28,254 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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 66 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 4,584 rental units, 4.4× the median for a Toronto intersection — four social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 160 Floyd Ave (32 m, 12 units, 3 storeys, built 1952), which scored 77 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

66 registered buildings · 4,584 units · 4 social housing · 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.

Four thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median 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 Danforth East York.
