Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jul 16, 2012

The north leg carries the load — 4,703 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 14. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,623 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,404). 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 14 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, 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 Yorkland Blvd between Smooth Rose Crt and Consumers Rd (363 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 2,900 vehicles a day.

Yorkland Blvd · Smooth Rose Crt – Consumers Rd · 363 mOct 2024 · 3 days2,92430 km/h42 km/h48 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

Toronto Police place 19 thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
