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 · Mar 28, 2006
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 229 northbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 51. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 77 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 20% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (64). Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 64 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 77 from 4:30 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
2022 was the peak year (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Oct 14, 2024.

| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

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 2012
The City's counter on Cardiff Rd between Eglinton Ave E and Roehampton Ave (149 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h.
