Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 18, 2025 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 6,816 eastbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 316. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,034 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,093 from 7:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 4 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Mar 6, 2013.

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
