Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 18, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,463 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 3,963 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,643 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,631 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Runnymede Rd between Glenwood Ave and Ardagh St, 335 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2000 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,900 vehicles a day. Annette St between Evelyn Ave and Fairview Ave measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Jun 2018). The reading is 26 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Annette St (288 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.9% of the 45,713 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Dec 6, 2010.

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

Two thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
