Martin Grove & Rathburn

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 25, 2023 · weekend

The west leg carries the load — 3,403 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,078. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,374 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 48% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (931). Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.4%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 931 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,374 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

2017 was the peak year (16 collisions), and 2025 closed with 6. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 5% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 11, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 12, 2014.

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 Martin Grove Rd between Saralou Crt and Rathburn Rd (109 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 9,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Rathburn Rd between Ravenscrest Dr and Kevi Lane measured slower: 50 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 57 km/h (Mar 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.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

One registered apartment building with 122 rental units stands within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 580 The East Mall (949 m, 122 units, 16 storeys, built 1972), which scored 95 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

1 registered building · 122 units · tallest 16 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.
