Kingston & Fallingbrook

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 20, 2024 · weekend

The east leg carries the load — 6,555 westbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 722. Most cyclists arrived from the east (184 of 427). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,355 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 59% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (852). Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 852 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,355 from 3:00 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

2017 was the peak year (23 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Sep 5, 2016.

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

The City's counter on Kingston Rd between Victoria Park Ave and Blantyre Ave (313 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 25,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

At the school-zone speed sign on Blantyre Ave (386 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 33,621 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Fallingbrook Road between Windsor Ave and Kingston Rd, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Birchcliffe-Cliffside.
