Woodbine & Wolverleigh

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 17, 2013

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 3,834 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 303. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,276 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,075). Trucks and buses were 6.9% 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 14 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2013, 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: 1,075 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,276 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

2017 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 45% of collisions here involved an injury. People walking or cycling were involved in 18% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 8, 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 Merrill Ave E and Mendel Ave (399 m away) recorded an average of 55 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 16,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Wolverleigh Blvd between Woodmount Ave and Woodbine Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Jun 2002). At the school-zone speed sign on Wolverleigh Blvd (150 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 9,233 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 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.

Six registered apartment buildings with 368 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 1017 Woodbine Ave (36 m, 59 units, 6 storeys, built 1970), which scored 97 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

6 registered buildings · 368 units · 2 social housing · tallest 7 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 five thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Woodbine-Lumsden.
