Lauder & Rosecliffe

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 12, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 762 southbound vehicles, or 79% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 7. Most cyclists arrived from the north (33 of 66). Morning rush is the busier period: 130 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 110 from 2:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 130 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 110 from 2:15 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

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Lauder Ave between Rosecliffe Ave and Lane N of Rosecliffe and W of Lauder (61 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Rosecliffe Ave between Westmount Ave and Northcliffe Blvd measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 28 km/h (Jun 2024).

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.
