Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 19, 2018

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 13,863 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 34% of the total, against 3,979 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 5,693 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 4,893 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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

On William Kitchen Rd between Progress Ave and Hwy 401 Collectors E, 272 m from the corner, a 2-day count in August 2018 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kennedy Rd · Hwy 401 Collectors E – Kennedy Rd N · 13 mApr 2013 · 3 days30,421
William Kitchen Rd · Progress Ave – Hwy 401 Collectors E · 272 mAug 2018 · 2 days18,53344 km/h52 km/h58 km/h

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

The worst year was 2023, with 98 collisions; 2025 recorded 69. 132 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 90 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 14 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 34 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 23, 2026.

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. 4 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Apr 13, 2013. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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

Five thefts from vehicles and four bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 5, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
