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 · Jun 26, 2012
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,103 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 666 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,249 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,217 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 14 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, 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: 1,249 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,217 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).

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, 59 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 Byng Ave C (393 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 14,031 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
