Yonge & Bogert

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 19, 2012

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 14,810 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 302. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,898 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,930 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 10.5% 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 2012, 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: 3,898 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,930 from 4:00 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 (23 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 29 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). The most recent report on file is from Dec 2, 2025.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jul 28, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 Yonge St between Harlandale Ave and Greenfield Ave (236 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. 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 (324 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 41,368 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Greenfield Ave (eastbound), 324 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 24 km/h, 85th percentile 34 km/h; 0.1% at 50 km/h or more. 41,368 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

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.

11 registered apartment buildings with 1,708 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner. The nearest is 35 Greenfield Ave (407 m, 361 units, 36 storeys, built 2020), which scored 98 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 97, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

11 registered buildings · 1,708 units · tallest 36 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 29 thefts from vehicles and ten bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 3.9 a year. 79% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% of the bike 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 Lansing-Westgate.
