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 · Dec 15, 2004
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,881 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 573 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,246 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,330 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2004, 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: 2,246 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,330 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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
On La Rose Ave between Russell Rd and Hamptonbrook Dr, 293 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2012 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Islington Ave · Eglinton Ave W – La Rose Ave · 102 m | Oct 2014 · 7 days | 12,649 | — | — | — |
| La Rose Ave · Russell Rd – Hamptonbrook Dr · 293 m | Apr 2012 · 2 days | 1,690 | 51 km/h | 60 km/h | 67 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
