The pace has been steady: 36 collisions in 2016–2020 and 35 in 2021–2025. None of them involved a death or serious injury.

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 — 8-hour, Nov 13, 1995

The north leg carries the load — 12,725 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 165. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,458 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,640 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.5% 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 16,183 vehicles. The count is 31 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1995, 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.

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 Newton Dr between Lane E of Yonge and S of Newton and Dumont St (183 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 24-hour count in February 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. Pleasant Ave between Yonge St and Lariviere Rd measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 51 km/h (Jun 2017). The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Yonge St · Newton Dr – Moore Park Ave · 48 mOct 2012 · 3 days27,727
Pleasant Ave · Yonge St – Lariviere Rd · 121 mJun 2017 · 24 h1,06942 km/h51 km/h57 km/h
Newton Dr · Lane E of Yonge and S of Newton – Dumont St · 183 mFeb 2011 · 24 h65542 km/h53 km/h59 km/h

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.

Killed or seriously injured

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
