Wilson Heights & Cocksfield

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 25, 2010

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,962 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 256 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,651 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 47% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (1,120). Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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: 1,651 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,120 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

The worst year was 2024, with 5 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 4 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 27, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Apr 17, 2017.

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 Heights Blvd between Cocksfield Ave and Codsell Ave, 48 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2023 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more.

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.

Two thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Bathurst Manor.
