Royal York & Frankwood

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 22, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,785 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 671 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (189 of 392). Evening rush dominates here: 1,243 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,148 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,148 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,243 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 Royal York Rd between Yorkview Dr and Oakfield Dr, 364 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,400 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.

2 registered buildings · 129 units · 2 social housing · tallest 3 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.

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft 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 Stonegate-Queensway.
