Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 31, 2005

The west leg carries the load — 10,392 eastbound vehicles, or 59% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 201. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,021 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 28% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,352). Trucks and buses were 5.4% 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 16,177 vehicles. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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.

Peak hours: 2,352 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,021 from 5:00 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

2018 was the peak year (17 collisions), and 2025 closed with 11. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 22 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 22, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Feb 21, 2009. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Wilson Ave between Hwy 401 Collectors W and Laurentia Cres (161 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in February 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 24,100 vehicles a day. Collinson Blvd between Allingham Gdns and de Quincy Blvd measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Dec 2021).

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.

54 registered apartment buildings with 1,670 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.6× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 411 Wilson Ave (208 m, 10 units, 3 storeys, built 1958), which scored 94 out of 100 at its September 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

54 registered buildings · 1,670 units · 4 social housing · tallest 19 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 five thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 24, 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 Clanton Park.
