Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Mar 18, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,029 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 3,824 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (113 of 227). Evening rush dominates here: 1,732 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,570 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.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 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Evans Ave between Carnarvon Ave and Alan Ave, 332 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in August 2014 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,000 vehicles a day. Royal York Rd between Simpson Ave and Portland St measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Nov 2017). The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Algoma St (211 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 9,073 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
