Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jan 22, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 5,651 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 93. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,160 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 8% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,071). Trucks and buses were 6.1% 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 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 Weston Rd between Dora Spencer Rd and Sidney Belsey Cres (106 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in February 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h.

Sidney Belsey Cres between Portage Gardens Park Trl and Rivers Edge Dr measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (May 2024). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Sidney Belsey Cres (302 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 17,346 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 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

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