Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 30, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 11,121 southbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 4,809. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,994 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 33% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (2,249). Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

How fast traffic moves here

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

The City's counter on O'Connor Dr between Sunrise Ave and Leafy Woodway (357 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 14,900 vehicles a day. Victoria Park Ave between Southmead Rd and O'connor Dr measured slower: 45 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Dec 2025).

O'Connor Dr · Sunrise Ave – Leafy Woodway · 357 mApr 2025 · 3 days14,94145 km/h53 km/h58 km/h

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. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Oct 28, 2014.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place 21 thefts from vehicles and eight bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 18 in 2023–2025, about 6.0 a year, against 1.6 a year before that. 90% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 75% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 27, 2026.
