St Albans Rd & Viking Lane St Albans Ramp

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 7, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,160 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 36% of the total, against 643 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 338 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m., 13% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (300). Trucks and buses were 37.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 338 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 300 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on St Albans Rd between St Albans Kipling Ave Ramp and Viking Lane St Albans Ramp (15 m away, Nov 2007) recorded volume only — about 1,106 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

20 thefts from vehicles and 12 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 3.2 a year. 65% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 42% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Apr 21, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Etobicoke City Centre.
