Scarlett & Alma

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 22, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 4,365 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 84. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,648 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 28% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,286). Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% 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.

Peak hours: 1,286 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,648 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 4 collisions. 11% of collisions here involved an injury. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 29, 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2022

The City's counter on Scarlett Rd between Chapman Rd and Saxony Cres (301 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 21,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Alma Dr between Scarlett Rd and Freemont Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Sep 2014).

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.

Six registered apartment buildings with 675 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 27 Scarlettwood Crt (156 m, 14 units, 3 storeys, built 1970), which scored 93 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 95, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

6 registered buildings · 675 units · 3 social housing · tallest 19 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.

Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median 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 Humber Heights-Westmount.
