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 · Mar 27, 2008
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,503 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 83 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 3,000 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,700 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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: 2,700 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,000 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 worst year was 2017, with 3 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 5 collisions (42%) involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 29, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2006
On Linwood Ave between Kennedy Rd and Belgreen Ave, 103 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2006 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kennedy Rd · Linwood Ave – Huntingwood Dr · 95 m | Apr 2013 · 3 days | 16,657 | — | — | — |
| Linwood Ave · Kennedy Rd – Belgreen Ave · 103 m | May 2006 · 24 h | 490 | 36 km/h | 47 km/h | 53 km/h |
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.
