Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 24, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 8,918 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 120. Most cyclists arrived from the west (154 of 277). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,766 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 28% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,376). Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Kingston Rd between Lakeside Ave and Birchcliff Ave (180 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2015; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 20,100 vehicles a day. Eastwood Ave between Freeman St and Hollis Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Jul 2013). The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Kingston Rd (62 m away, 40 km/h limit), 13% of the 62,837 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.
