Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 10, 2024 (a weekend day)

The east leg carries the load — 8,225 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 83. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,607 vehicles in the hour from 2:45 p.m., 35% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,190). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

The City's counter on St Clair Ave E between Hodder St and Rexleigh Dr (143 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 2-day count in October 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 24,600 vehicles a day. Selwyn Ave between Dalecrest Dr and Barrett Rd measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (May 2013). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on St Clair Avenue East (85 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 1,004 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Selwyn Avenue between St Clair Ave E and Westview Blvd.

Traffic calming

    5 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.

All police-reported collisions

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 Nov 2, 2009.

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
