Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 5, 2006
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 2,531 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 102. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 862 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (750). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 750 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 862 from 5:00 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
2017 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 11% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from May 18, 2024.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

| All reported collisions | 9 | |
| With an injury | 1 | |
| Property damage only | 8 | |

| All KSI since 2006 | 0 |
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 2017
The City's counter on Chaplin Cres between Elmsthorpe Ave and Beltline Trl (211 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 46 km/h. That segment carries about 9,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Tarlton Rd between College View Ave and Lane S of Eglinton and W of Tarlton Rd measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (May 2017) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tarlton Rd · College View Ave – Lane S of Eglinton and W of Tarlton Rd · 187 m | May 2017 · 3 days | 918 | 33 km/h | 43 km/h | 48 km/h |
| Chaplin Cres · Elmsthorpe Ave – Beltline Trl · 211 m | Sep 2005 · 3 days | 9,299 | 30 km/h | 46 km/h | 58 km/h |
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.
