Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 17, 2022 · weekend

The north leg carries the load — 7,906 southbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 3,430. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,071 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 133% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,746). Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 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.

Peak hours: 1,746 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 4,071 from 4:15 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

2016 was the peak year (93 collisions), and 2025 closed with 47. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 70 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 32 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The last one inside the window was in 2017. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Jul 31, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 7.

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 York Mills Rd between Old York Mills Rd and York Ridge Rd (319 m away) recorded an average of 58 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 68 km/h. That segment carries about 24,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Yonge St between York Mills Rd and William Carson Cres measured slower: 51 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 62 km/h (Nov 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.

One registered apartment building with 305 rental units stands within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 4000 Yonge St (259 m, 305 units, 8 storeys, built 1964), which scored 92 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

1 registered building · 305 units · tallest 8 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 12 thefts from vehicles and nine bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 2.6 a year before that. 58% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 56% of the bike thefts were from transit property.

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 St.Andrew-Windfields.
