Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, 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 16,183 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.

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

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. 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). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Kennedy Rd (89 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.

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 Jul 15, 2013.

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

Toronto Police place 16 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.6 a year. 56% of the vehicle thefts were from apartment-building parking.
