Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 1, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 45 northbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 16. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 18 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 20% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (15). Trucks and buses were 13.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 15 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 18 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
Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.
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.
How fast traffic moves here
At the school-zone speed sign on Varsity Rd (211 m away, 30 km/h limit), 14% of the 32,684 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
