Wilson & William Cragg

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 17, 2022 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,650 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 173 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,493 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 780 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 780 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,493 from 4:15 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 8 collisions. 8 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 10, 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 Apr 13, 2015.

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

On Wilson Ave between William Cragg Dr and Montana Ave, 66 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2021 put the average speed at 55 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 65 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 21,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. William Cragg Dr between Wilson Ave and Epsom Downs Dr measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Nov 2007). At the school-zone speed sign on Highview Ave (332 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 12,003 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

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.

Seven thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 57% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 1, 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.
