Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 7 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 5.2% of vehicle volume, about 6.7× the typical share. That comes with about 0.2 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — well below the median of 31 for the decade.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jul 14, 2020

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 384 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 275 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 168 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 91 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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 Westview Blvd between Dalecrest Dr and Barrett Rd, 167 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2007 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. Selwyn Ave between Dalecrest Dr and Barrett Rd measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (May 2013). The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Selwyn Avenue between St Clair Ave E and Westview Blvd.

Traffic calming

  • Selwyn Avenue · St Clair Ave E – Westview Blvd
    5 speed humps

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
