Willowdale & Bishop

Traffic volume14-hour count · Feb 19, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 8,498 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,614. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,934 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,955 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,934 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,955 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2024 was the peak year (25 collisions), and 2025 closed with 17. 20% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 22 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 8, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. The most recent was on May 11, 2024.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

Speeds here, last measured in 2020

The City's counter on Willowdale Ave between Revcoe Dr and Silverview Dr (337 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 10,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Bishop Ave between Willowdale Ave and Longmore St measured slower: 49 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 57 km/h (Apr 2011).

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Six registered apartment buildings with 936 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 175 Cummer Ave (599 m, 246 units, 4 storeys, built 1970), which scored 93 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 94, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

6 registered buildings · 936 units · 3 social housing · tallest 21 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place 22 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.2 a year. 82% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 18, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Newtonbrook East.
