Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 838 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 14 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 4.4× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. Collisions fell 15%, from 73 in 2016–2020 to 62 in 2021–2025. No one was killed or seriously injured in any of them.

Every establishment Toronto Public Health inspects under DineSafe, screened by name to leave out kitchens inside schools, care homes and offices. A conditional pass means infractions had to be fixed by a follow-up visit, not that the premises is closed.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 10, 2022 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,706 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 3,753 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,411 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,785 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.1% 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 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

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

The City's most recent midblock count on Albion Rd between Indian Line and Steeles Ave W (109 m away, May 2015) recorded volume only — about 25,108 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Albion Rd · Indian Line – Steeles Ave W · 109 mMay 2015 · 3 days25,108
Steeles Ave W · Alcide St – Albion Rd · 208 mMay 2014 · 3 days15,630

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.
