Sutherland & McRae

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 10, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,181 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 763 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 916 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 845 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% 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 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: 845 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 916 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).

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 McRae Dr between Sutherland Dr and Randolph Rd, 59 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2022 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Sutherland Dr between Stickney Ave and McRae Dr measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2026).

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 16 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 651 rental units. The nearest is 870 Millwood Rd (530 m, 11 units, 3 storeys, built 1950), which scored 85 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

16 registered buildings · 651 units · tallest 18 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.

One theft from a vehicle and two bike thefts 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 Leaside-Bennington.
