The latest City count averages about 3,140 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 2.7× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 8 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. On average 92 collisions a year were reported here in 2016–2025 — 21.0 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 4.2× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 24%, from 523 in 2016–2020 to 400 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 923 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 25, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 13,933 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 9,080 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,993 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 3,465 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% 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 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Transway Cres and Eglinton Ave E, 63 m from the corner, a 7-day count in July 2023 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,700 vehicles a day. Eglinton Ave E between Transway Cres and Hydro Corridor (Id: 3354838) measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Oct 2003). At the school-zone speed sign on Kennedy Rd (174 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.2% of the 278,132 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
