Ossington & Davenport

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 9, 2025 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 5,895 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,722. Most cyclists arrived from the east (43 of 96). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,156 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,012). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,012 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,156 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

2016 was the peak year (21 collisions), and 2025 closed with 6. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.

Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. The most recent was on Oct 12, 2016. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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 2022

The City's counter on Ossington Ave between Carus Ave and Marchmount Rd (143 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 14,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Davenport Rd between Marchmount Rd and Shaw St measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Jun 2022).

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.
