Scarlett & East

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 22, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 5,969 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 836. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,064 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,733). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% 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.

Peak hours: 1,733 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,064 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

2024 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 11, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Sep 22, 2017.

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 2021

The City's counter on Scarlett Rd between Black Creek Trl and Clairton Cres (197 m away) recorded an average of 63 km/h in its 3-day count in December 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 70 km/h. That segment carries about 24,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. East Dr between Woodgate Dr and Scarlett Rd measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Oct 2021). 1 speed hump slow traffic on East Drive between Scarlett Rd and Woodgate Dr.

Traffic calming

East Drive (Scarlett Rd – Woodgate Dr): 1 speed hump

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.

Seven registered apartment buildings with 791 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 10 Allanhurst Dr (746 m, 108 units, 11 storeys, built 1966), which scored 98 out of 100 at its December 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 95, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

7 registered buildings · 791 units · 1 social housing · tallest 15 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 seven thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 57% of the vehicle thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 Rockcliffe-Smythe.
