How fast traffic moves here

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

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. Rogers Rd between Blackthorn Ave and Bronoco Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Feb 2022). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 9 speed humps slow traffic on Rosethorn Avenue between Rogers Rd and Rockwell Ave.

Traffic calming

    9 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 Aug 21, 2010.

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
