Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 4, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 1,606 vehicles entering from the east to 1,819 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 544 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 567 from 2:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 544 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 567 from 2:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.
How fast traffic moves here
The City's counter on Shaughnessy Blvd between Rochelle Cres and Leith Hill Rd (323 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 2-day count in December 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 5,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Esterbrooke Ave between Shaughnessy Blvd and Don Mills Rd W measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Nov 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Lescon Rd (324 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 5,014 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
