Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 12, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,171 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 56 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (61 of 96). Evening rush dominates here: 761 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 658 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 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 Van Horne Ave between O'shea Cres and Don Mills Rd W, 371 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,800 vehicles a day. Hobart Dr between Van Horne Ave and Seneca Hill Dr measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Sep 2013). At the school-zone speed sign on Seneca Hill Dr (365 m away, 30 km/h limit), 36% of the 34,001 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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
