How fast traffic moves here

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

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. 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). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Rogers Rd (237 m away, 40 km/h limit), 3.0% of the 181,812 vehicles logged in July 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.

Traffic calming

    2 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 29, 2011.

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

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
