Traffic volume8-hour count · Jul 5, 2023

The south leg carries the load — 3,102 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 105. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,127 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 52% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (740). Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 740 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,127 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Scarborough Golf Club Rd between Painted Post Dr and Newark Rd (224 m away) recorded an average of 57 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 64 km/h. That segment carries about 12,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Brimorton Dr (167 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.8% of the 84,248 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
