Oakwood & Rosemount

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 9, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,794 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 514 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the west (41 of 82). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 950 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 936 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.4% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 950 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 936 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 worst year was 2019, with 12 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 7 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 24, 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 Nov 1, 2007.

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.
