Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 31, 2006

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 4,533 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 355. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,381 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 1,260 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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.

Peak hours: 1,381 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,260 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 counter on Kenmark Blvd between Kennedy Rd and Chevron Cres (104 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 2-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Kennedy Rd between Transway Cres and Eglinton Ave E measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Jul 2023). At the school-zone speed sign on Kennedy Rd (89 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.2% of the 258,134 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
