Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Apr 7, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 7,297 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,021. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,637 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (2,402). Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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 16,183 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Wilson Ave between Julian Rd and Ridge Rd (129 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 2-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 23,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Highview Ave (240 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 23,127 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 19, 2012.

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 25 thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 3.0 a year before that. 72% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 8, 2026.
