Rogers & Rosethorn

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 23, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,725 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 273 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (117 of 248). Evening rush dominates here: 1,119 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 989 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% 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: 989 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,119 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 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 4 collisions (9%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 30% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 28, 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 Aug 21, 2010.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2022

On Rosethorn Ave between Rowntree Ave and Rogers Rd, 84 m from the corner, a 3-day count in January 2020 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 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 six RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 433 rental units — two social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 600 Rogers Rd (693 m, 207 units, 9 storeys, built 1990), which scored 90 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

6 registered buildings · 433 units · 2 social housing · tallest 11 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.

Four thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 29, 2026.

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 Keelesdale-Eglinton West.
