Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Feb 2, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 6,445 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 237. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,903 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,877 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Yonge St between du Maurier Blvd and Wanless Ave (34 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 29,100 vehicles a day. Wanless Ave between Yonge St and Leith Pl measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 32 km/h (Oct 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Ranleigh Ave (200 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 2,696 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Dec 10, 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

Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
