Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jan 16, 2014

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,368 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 400 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,455 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,420 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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

On Weston Rd between Rogers Rd and Porter Ave, 102 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2024 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 39,800 vehicles a day. Porter Ave between Weston Rd and Avon Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Nov 2003). At the school-zone speed sign on Avon Ave (132 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 52,242 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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 11, 2010.

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
