Kennedy & Dancy

Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 23, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 11,380 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 847. Most cyclists arrived from the south (40 of 75). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,133 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,941). Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,941 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,133 from 4:45 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 17 collisions. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 16 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 28, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jan 1, 2013.

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 most recent midblock count on Kennedy Rd between Finch Ave E and Trojan Gt (328 m away, Sep 2019) recorded volume only — about 15,082 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Silver Spring Blvd (270 m away, 30 km/h limit), 5.2% of the 29,740 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

Speed sign

Silver Spring Blvd (southbound), 270 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 28 km/h, 85th percentile 35 km/h; 5.2% at 40 km/h or more. 29,740 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.

Toronto Police place 18 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 2.4 a year before that. 39% of the vehicle thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 25, 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 Milliken.
