Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 11, 2024
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 11,598 and 13,977 vehicles. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,259 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,497 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 4,259 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,497 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
The worst year was 2019, with 90 collisions; 2025 recorded 59. 90 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 53 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 15 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 37 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 22, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jun 29, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.

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.

Is Finch & Kennedy a walkable intersection?
Finch & Kennedy scores 46 out of 100 on this site's within-a-walk measure; the city median is 48.
