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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2013

On Tamworth Rd between Betty Ann Dr and Ellerslie Ave, 77 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2013 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 51 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Betty Ann Dr between Tamworth Rd and Diagonal Rd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Sep 2011).

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.

3 registered buildings · 696 units · 1 social housing · tallest 27 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 no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

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 Willowdale West.
