Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 1, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 19,612 westbound vehicles, or 63% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 834. Most cyclists arrived from the east (64 of 121). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,387 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,437 from 6:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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 Westover Hill Rd between Dewbourne Ave and Owen Weinstein Lane (151 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 24-hour count in December 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Ava Rd (358 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 93,132 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Westover Hill Road between Dewbourne Ave and Eglinton Ave W.

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 two thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 4, 2026.
