Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, May 10, 2023

The south leg carries the load — 5,870 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 95. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,878 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,605). Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Kennedy Rd between Stratton Ave and Jack Goodlad Park Trl (182 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 7-day count in May 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 23,700 vehicles a day. Kingsdown Dr between Kennedy Rd and Yorkshire Rd measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Nov 2023). At the school-zone speed sign on Ionview Rd (294 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.1% of the 14,544 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 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 Aug 28, 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 11 thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 11, 2026.
