Yonge St & Yonge Blvd & Yonge Boulevard Parkette Trl

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 7, 2025

The south leg carries the load — 13,313 northbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,889. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,058 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,647). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,647 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,058 from 5:00 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 (18 collisions), and 2025 closed with 9. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 5, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Aug 31, 2017.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2020

The City's counter on Yonge St between McNairn Ave and Donwoods Dr (159 m away) recorded an average of 53 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 31,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Yonge Blvd between Old Orchard Grv and McNairn Ave measured slower: 45 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Jan 2020).

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.

11 registered buildings · 744 units · 1 social housing · 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 no thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Bridle Path-Sunnybrook-York Mills.
