Rathburn & West Deane Park

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 23, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,305 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 377 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,746 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 32% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (1,319). Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 1,746 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,319 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 2022, with 1 collision; 2025 recorded 0. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 50% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 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 Mar 18, 2012.

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

On Rathburn Rd between West Deane Park Dr and Meadowbank Rd, 128 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2022 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Within a kilometre there are five RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 926 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 580 The East Mall (744 m, 122 units, 16 storeys, built 1972), which scored 95 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

5 registered buildings · 926 units · 1 social housing · tallest 25 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.

One theft from a vehicle and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Islington.
