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 · Mar 29, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,676 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 157. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 546 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 558 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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: 546 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 558 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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
The City's counter on Boulderbrook Dr between Solitude St and Hepatica St (323 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Staines Rd between Twinflower Crt and Cricket Mews measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Mar 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Staines Rd · Twinflower Crt – Cricket Mews · 250 m | Mar 2025 · 3 days | 7,121 | 36 km/h | 43 km/h | 47 km/h |
| Boulderbrook Dr · Solitude St – Hepatica St · 323 m | Apr 2009 · 24 h | 281 | 36 km/h | 47 km/h | 52 km/h |
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.

Within a walk
What the City's own records put within a walk of this corner — distances are the walk along real streets and paths. Shops, banks, gyms and clinics are in no City dataset, so they are not here.
Food, shops and services
Food premises Toronto Public Health has inspected since November 2023, screened by name and location to leave out the kitchens inside care homes, child care, schools and offices, and carts and stalls; a shop without a recent inspection does not appear. Pharmacies, hospital sites and care homes from the Ontario Ministry of Health's register — a hospital site may be a rehabilitation or specialty hospital without an emergency department; in an emergency call 911.
