Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 28, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 13,540 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 598. Most cyclists arrived from the west (37 of 86). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,401 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,456 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.7% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 2,401 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,456 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

2019 was the peak year (41 collisions), and 2025 closed with 39. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 74 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% 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, 36 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 26, 2026.

Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Jul 30, 2025.

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 Agate Rd and Julian Rd (236 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 24,000 vehicles a day. Julian Rd between Wilson Ave and Victory Dr measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Apr 2019).

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.

17 registered apartment buildings with 1,368 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1265 Wilson Ave (153 m, 61 units, 4 storeys, built 1970), which scored 95 out of 100 at its June 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 17 scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

17 registered buildings · 1,368 units · 1 social housing · tallest 15 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 25 thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 3.4 a year before that. 68% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Mar 11, 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 Oakdale-Beverley Heights.
