Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 10, 2024 (a weekend day)

The east leg carries the load — 10,597 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 76. Most cyclists arrived from the east (50 of 72). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,975 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 40% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,412). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 months 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

The City's counter on St Clair Ave E between Maybourne Ave and Westbourne Ave (42 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 25,600 vehicles a day. Westbourne Ave between Bolster Ave and Dawes Rd measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Mar 2026). At the school-zone speed sign on St Clair Ave E (104 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 Jun 18, 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.

Thefts reported at this corner
