Stanley & Station

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 15, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,490 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 82% of the total, against 124 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 373 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 137 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 137 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 373 from 4:45 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

On Station Rd between Stanley Ave and Cavell Ave, 80 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Stanley Ave between Elizabeth St and Lane E of Royal York and N of Stanley measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Mar 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Stanley Ave (191 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.6% of the 110,135 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

Speed sign

Stanley Ave (eastbound), 191 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 26 km/h, 85th percentile 32 km/h; 1.6% at 40 km/h or more. 110,135 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 48 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,479 rental units, 3.2× the median for a Toronto intersection — two social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 110 Stanley Ave (78 m, 16 units, 3 storeys, built 1959), which scored 75 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

48 registered buildings · 2,479 units · 2 social housing · tallest 16 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Two thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Mimico-Queensway.
