Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Oct 18, 2007

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 4,392 southbound vehicles, or 62% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 459. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,562 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 983 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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.

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 Avenue Rd between Killarney Rd and Hillholm Rd (56 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 5-day count in May 2001; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 8,500 vehicles a day. Hillholm Rd between Avenue Rd and Forest Hill Rd measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (May 2003). The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Oriole Pkwy (366 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.9% of the 6,523 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
