Vaughan & Bude

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 26, 1996

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,483 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 139 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 651 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 664 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 31 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1996, 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: 651 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 664 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 1 collision. 2 collisions (33%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (17%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 28, 2026.

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

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 Vaughan Rd between Bansley Ave and Onslow Cres, 62 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2021 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Bude St between Oakwood Ave and Vaughan Rd measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Jun 2024). At the school-zone speed sign on Glenholme Ave (267 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 60,200 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Glenholme Ave (northbound), 267 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 21 km/h, 85th percentile 29 km/h; 0.7% at 40 km/h or more. 60,200 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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 31 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,286 rental units, 2.1× the median for a Toronto intersection — six social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 641 Vaughan Rd (130 m, 45 units, 4 storeys, built 1955), which scored 93 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

31 registered buildings · 2,286 units · 6 social housing · tallest 16 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 one bike theft 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 Oakwood Village.
