Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 19, 2008
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 4,073 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 360. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,441 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 34% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,079). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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: 1,079 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,441 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
2019 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 21% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 19, 2026.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 St Clarens Ave between Lane S of College and E of St Clarens and Lane S of College and E of Lansdowne (60 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 5-day count in March 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Lansdowne Ave (128 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 14,996 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 2 speed humps slow traffic on St Clarens Avenue between Dundas St W and College St, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.
