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 · May 10, 2006
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,324 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 129 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,614 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,304 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 2,304 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,614 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 2024, with 2 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 1 collision (20%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Aug 2, 2024.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

| All reported collisions | 5 | |
| With an injury | 1 | |
| Property damage only | 3 | |

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 2019
On Kingston Rd between Queensbury Ave and Audrey Ave, 134 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2019 put the average speed at 53 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 72 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Cornell Ave between East Rd and Lynn Rd measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Nov 2017).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cornell Ave · East Rd – Lynn Rd · 128 m | Nov 2017 · 3 days | 540 | 32 km/h | 40 km/h | 45 km/h |
| Kingston Rd · Queensbury Ave – Audrey Ave · 134 m | Mar 2019 · 24 h | 24,716 | 53 km/h | 64 km/h | 72 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.
