Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Apr 4, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 1,606 vehicles entering from the east to 1,819 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 544 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 567 from 2:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Shaughnessy Blvd between Rochelle Cres and Leith Hill Rd (323 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 2-day count in December 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 5,400 vehicles a day. Esterbrooke Ave between Shaughnessy Blvd and Don Mills Rd W measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Nov 2024). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on 22 Dallington Dr (185 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.8% of the 2,069 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

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

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
