Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 23, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,520 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 11 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (129 of 264). Evening rush dominates here: 1,389 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,262 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,262 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,389 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 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 6 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 16, 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 Oct 29, 2011.

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 Rogers Rd between Blackthorn Ave and Bronoco Ave, 123 m from the corner, a 2-day count in February 2022 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Blackthorn Ave between Rogers Rd and Kenora Cres measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Jan 2020). At the school-zone speed sign on Rogers Rd (237 m away, 40 km/h limit), 3.2% of the 171,877 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Blackthorn Avenue between Rowntree Ave and Rogers Rd.
