Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 29, 2025 (a weekend day)

The east leg carries the load — 11,706 westbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 8,098. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,664 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 44% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,543). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 Victoria Park Ave between Adair Rd and Furnival Rd (356 m away) recorded an average of 57 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 65 km/h. That segment carries about 12,600 vehicles a day. St Clair Ave E between Maybourne Ave and Westbourne Ave measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Apr 2025). The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on St Clair Ave E (153 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 65,472 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.

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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 23, 2015.

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 two thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
