Pharmacy & Princeway

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 22, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 9,745 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 699. Most cyclists arrived from the south (35 of 56). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,179 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,743). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,743 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,179 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 10 collisions. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 25, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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

The City's counter on Pharmacy Ave between Princeway Dr and Dewey Dr (108 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 20,300 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.

Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and no bicycle thefts at this intersection 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 Wexford/Maryvale.
