Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 17, 2009

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,174 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 826 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 930 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 741 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Shaughnessy Blvd between Glentworth Rd and Rochelle Cres, 146 m from the corner, a 2-day count in July 2023 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,600 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on 22 Dallington Dr (170 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.8% of the 2,069 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
