Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Apr 22, 2013

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 4,182 northbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,109. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,467 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 1,247 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 13 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2013, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Weston Rd between Coulter Ave and Rectory Rd (342 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 20,200 vehicles a day. Church St between King George Rd and Rosemount Ave measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Jun 2023).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Weston Rd · Coulter Ave – Rectory Rd · 342 mOct 2024 · 3 days20,17946 km/h54 km/h60 km/h
Church St · King George Rd – Rosemount Ave · 369 mJun 2023 · 7 days2,94034 km/h42 km/h47 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. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on May 24, 2012.

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 six thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
