Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Apr 25, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,424 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 275 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (35 of 67). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 471 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 497 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Brownlow Ave between Soudan Ave and Eglinton Ave E, 134 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2023 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 36 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 41 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Brownlow Ave (109 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.8% of the 15,183 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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

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

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