Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, May 28, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,920 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 1,448 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 921 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 846 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 months 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

On Van Horne Ave between Shaughnessy Blvd and O'shea Cres, 49 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2025 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,800 vehicles a day. Shaughnessy Blvd between Nymark Ave and Goodview Rd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (May 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Van Horne Ave (102 m away, 40 km/h limit), 6.9% of the 61,211 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
