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 26, 2014

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,765 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 1,433 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,286 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 12% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (1,153). Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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.

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

On Kenneth Ave between Holmes Ave and Olive Ave, 395 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2002 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Silverview Dr (391 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 6,339 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
