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 · May 23, 2012
Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 41 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 21% above the afternoon peak from 2:00 p.m. (34). Trucks and buses were 14.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. 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.
Peak hours: 41 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 34 from 2:00 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 2 collisions. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 40% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 29, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

| All reported collisions | 5 | |
| With an injury | 0 | |
| Property damage only | 3 | |
| Fail to remain | 2 | |

| Severity not classified | 2 | |

| All KSI since 2006 | 0 |
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
On Rolyat St between Ossington Ave and Lane W of Ossington and S of Rolyat, 168 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2012 put the average speed at 21 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 32 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 34 km/h or more. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Ossington Ave (288 m away, 30 km/h limit), 23% of the 140,029 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Rolyat Street between Ossington Ave and Grove Ave (installed 2003).
