Yonge & Roselawn

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 13, 2024

The north leg carries the load — 8,918 southbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,257. Most cyclists arrived from the south (190 of 364). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,707 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,699 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,707 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,699 from 5:15 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

2019 was the peak year (14 collisions), and 2025 closed with 8. 5% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 19 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 2026.

Of the four serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 3 pedestrians and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. 1 of the 4 happened in darkness — 25%, below the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Feb 10, 2022.

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 Yonge St between Montgomery Ave and Roselawn Ave (76 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 20,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Roselawn Ave between Yonge St and Duplex Ave measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2011). At the school-zone speed sign on Erskine Ave (94 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.5% of the 91,477 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

Speed sign

Erskine Ave (eastbound), 94 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 24 km/h, 85th percentile 32 km/h; 1.5% at 40 km/h or more. 91,477 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

89 registered apartment buildings with 11,203 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 12 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 5.9× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 15 Erskine Ave (70 m, 65 units, 16 storeys, built 1970), which scored 95 out of 100 at its September 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 89 scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

89 registered buildings · 11,203 units · 12 social housing · tallest 39 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 86% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jan 6, 2026.

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 North Toronto.
