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 · Dec 21, 2011
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,134 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 833 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 716 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 659 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% 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 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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: 659 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 716 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

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.
How fast traffic moves here
On Sunnyside Ave between Marmaduke St and Howard Park Ave, 53 m from the corner, a 2-day count in June 2019 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Marmaduke St (131 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.1% of the 10,441 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.
