Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 12, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,390 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 1,697 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (86 of 137). Evening rush dominates here: 1,190 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 867 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Terry Dr between Symes Rd and Gaffney Park Trl, 306 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2004 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. Rockcliffe Blvd between Black Creek Trl and Woolner Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Dec 2025). The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Rockcliffe Blvd (107 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. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Terry Drive between Rockcliffe Blvd and Symes Rd.

Traffic calming

  • Terry Drive · Rockcliffe Blvd – Symes Rd
    4 speed humps

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

Thefts reported at this corner
