Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 8, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 5,446 southbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 2,819. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,600 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,411). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Eastwood Rd between Highcroft Rd and Edgewood Ave (281 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 41 km/h. That segment carries about 3,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Eastwood Road between Gerrard St E and Bowmore Rd.

Traffic calming

  • Eastwood Road · Gerrard St E – Bowmore Rd
    5 speed humps

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

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Sep 28, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 2. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.
