Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 3,600 vehicles, 3.1× the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 6 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). That comes with about 28 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 5.5 per 10,000 counted vehicles, in line with the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions edged up 15%, from 128 in 2016–2020 to 147 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 275 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Mar 25, 2026

The south leg carries the load — 23,052 northbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 2,329. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,324 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,171 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Yonge St between Harlandale Ave and Greenfield Ave (314 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 19,700 vehicles a day. Poyntz Ave between Beecroft Rd and Frizzell Rd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Mar 2006). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Greenfield Ave (397 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 43,500 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on May 8, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
