Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 21, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 10,363 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 2,125 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,106 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,767 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

Peak hours: 1,767 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,106 from 4:45 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 2023, with 16 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 7 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 3, 2026.

Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. The most recent was on Aug 19, 2022.

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 2012

On Royal York Rd between Ashley Park Rd and Ashley Rd, 102 m from the corner, a 2-day count in May 2012 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 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.
