Southvale & Rolph

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 26, 2001

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,294 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 150 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (35 of 70). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,291 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,349 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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.

Peak hours: 1,291 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,349 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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

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

On Southvale Dr between Hanna Rd and Rolph Rd, 124 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2026 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,300 vehicles a day. Rolph Rd between Leacrest Rd and Southvale Dr measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Feb 2024).

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.

Two thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Leaside-Bennington.
