Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 3,130 vehicles, 2.7× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 2.5 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. That comes with about 92 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 21.1 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 4.2× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 42%, from 585 in 2016–2020 to 338 in 2021–2025. About one in 308 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, May 26, 2026

The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,737 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,752 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Yonge St between Tolman St and Finch Ave W, 58 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2021 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 70 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,800 vehicles a day. Finch Ave W between Yonge St and Duplex Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Apr 2026). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Kempford Blvd (339 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 44,427 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
