Woodbine & Dixon

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 29, 2002

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 5,440 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 193. Most cyclists arrived from the north (41 of 71). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,925 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (1,692). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 24 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2002, 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: 1,692 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 1,925 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 (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 7% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 6, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 Woodbine Ave between Walkway S of Queen and W of Woodbine and Woodbine Mews (353 m away) recorded an average of 56 km/h in its 3-day count in January 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 64 km/h. That segment carries about 30,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Dixon Ave between Brookmount Rd and Rainsford Rd measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Sep 2010). At the school-zone speed sign on Queen Street E (225 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 16,558 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

32 registered apartment buildings with 1,038 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.1× the median for a Toronto intersection.

None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

32 registered buildings · 1,038 units · 6 social housing · tallest 9 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 four thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median 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 The Beaches.
