Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, May 2, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 4,536 northbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 332. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,432 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,253). Trucks and buses were 7.6% 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 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.

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 Lambton Ave and Lane E of Weston and S of Barr (93 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h.

At the school-zone speed sign on Lambton Ave (275 m away, 40 km/h limit), 2.6% of the 50,899 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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

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

Toronto Police place 16 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 8 in 2023–2025, about 2.7 a year, against 1.1 a year before that. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
