Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 8, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,093 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 4,250 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (218 of 495). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,072 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,140 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

All KSI since 20064latest Jun 8, 2023

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2017

On Woodbine Ave between Merrill Ave E and Mendel Ave, 356 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2017 put the average speed at 55 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more.
