Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 24, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,063 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 809. Morning rush is the busier period: 445 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 391 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 6 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 Erskine Ave between Redpath Avenue Parkette Trl and Mount Pleasant Rd (130 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 46 km/h. That segment carries about 4,300 vehicles a day. Redpath Ave between Broadway Ave and Erskine Ave measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Sep 2017). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Keewatin Ave (190 m away, 30 km/h limit), 7.6% of the 32,975 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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

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