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 14, 2005
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,462 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 632 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (295 of 714). Evening rush dominates here: 1,369 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,098 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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: 1,098 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,369 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 3 collisions. 1 collision (7%) involved an injury. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 36% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Nov 4, 2025.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2021
On Roxton Rd between Harbord St and Lane N of Harbord and E of Roxton, 57 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Roxton Road between College St and Harbord St, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.
