Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 12, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 13,915 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 6,797 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 4,164 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 3,486 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years 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 Bloor St W between Tremont Rd and The East Mall, 180 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2019 put the average speed at 57 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 65 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 70 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,000 vehicles a day. The East Mall between Faludon Crt and Hwy 427 Collectors N measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Aug 2024). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on The East Mall (2/2) (137 m away, 30 km/h limit), 65% of the 16,872 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Apr 4, 2013.

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.
