Jethro & Kirby

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 9, 2026

The west leg carries the load — 3,659 eastbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 811. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 981 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (837). Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 837 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 981 from 3:45 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 1 collision. 50% of collisions here involved an injury. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 18, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2005

The City's counter on Jethro Rd between Kirby Rd and June Ave (45 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

12 registered apartment buildings with 266 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner. The nearest is 1780 Wilson Ave (103 m, 31 units, 3 storeys, built 1954), which scored 95 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

12 registered buildings · 266 units · tallest 4 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 five thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 40% of the vehicle thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.

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 Oakdale-Beverley Heights.
