Scarborough Golf Club & Painted Post

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 12, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,603 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 262. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,039 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,066 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 1,039 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,066 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2018 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 20% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from Mar 4, 2026.

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.

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.

Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Morningside.
