Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 2, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The east leg carries the load — 963 westbound vehicles, or 67% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 200. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 211 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (186). Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

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

The City's counter on Queens Ave between Mimico Ave and Primrose Ave (46 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. Mimico Ave between Station Rd and Elizabeth St measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (May 2025). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Mimico Ave (99 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.2% of the 126,081 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Queens Avenue between Lake Shore Blvd W and Mimico Ave, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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
