Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Feb 4, 2010

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,893 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 987 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,386 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,293 from 5:00 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 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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 Summer Dr and Foxridge Dr, 288 m from the corner, a 2-day count in January 2020 put the average speed at 63 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 72 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 77 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,900 vehicles a day. Corvette Ave between Hart Ave and Brenda Cres measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jul 2025). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Corvette Ave (133 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 30,658 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

Killed or seriously injured

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
