Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Apr 8, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 12,496 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 715. Most cyclists arrived from the south (63 of 126). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,237 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,296 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% 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 Tolman St and Finch Ave W (63 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 64 km/h. That segment carries about 19,800 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 Kempford Blvd (227 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.

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
