Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Apr 28, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 4,303 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 293. Most cyclists arrived from the north (58 of 124). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 794 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (717). Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Castleton Ave between Lane N of St Clair and E of Mould and Liverpool St (286 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 2-day count in July 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 1,800 vehicles a day. Corbett Ave between Mould Ave and Lane E of Jane and S of Corbett measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Jan 2025). The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Rockcliffe Blvd (232 m away, 30 km/h limit), 27% of the 88,037 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
