Woodbine & Heyworth

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 14, 2021

The north leg carries the load — 3,515 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 11. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,075 vehicles in the hour from 2:45 p.m., 54% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (698). Trucks and buses were 5.2% 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 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 698 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,075 from 2:45 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

2018 was the peak year (5 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 27, 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 Aug 12, 2014.

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 Heyworth Cres between Woodbine Ave and Kingston Rd (85 m away) recorded an average of 25 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 33 km/h. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

38 registered apartment buildings with 1,703 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 12 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection.

38 registered buildings · 1,703 units · 12 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 two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 East End-Danforth.
