Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 18, 2023

The south leg carries the load — 328 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 96. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 109 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 58% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (69). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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.

Peak hours: 69 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 109 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2019

The City's counter on Salem Ave between Salem Parkette Trl and Shanly St (166 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 2-day count in November 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 33 km/h. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

15 registered apartment buildings with 1,224 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing.
