Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Dec 11, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,943 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 3,791 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,937 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 1,440 in the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.8% 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 is 21 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On McLevin Ave between Shepmore Ter and Tapscott Rd, 195 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,300 vehicles a day. Tapscott Rd between Washburn Way and McLevin Ave measured slower: 45 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 54 km/h (Apr 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Tapscott Rd (143 m away, 50 km/h limit), 5.5% of the 191,393 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
