Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jul 23, 2015

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,587 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 1,065 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,064 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,187 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Kennedy Rd between Stratton Ave and Jack Goodlad Park Trl, 275 m from the corner, a 7-day count in May 2023 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,700 vehicles a day. Bertrand Ave between Iondale Pl and Midholm Dr measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Aug 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Ionview Rd (336 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.1% of the 14,544 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Bertrand Avenue between Kennedy Rd and Birchmount Rd.

Traffic calming

  • Bertrand Avenue · Kennedy Rd – Birchmount Rd
    5 speed humps

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 23, 2010.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Three thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
