Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 20, 2024 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,539 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 1,025 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (209 of 305). Evening rush dominates here: 1,163 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 704 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. 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 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: 704 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,163 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
The worst year was 2020, with 9 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 10 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 26, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 cyclist and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Oct 11, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 Kingston Rd between Rosetta McClain Gardens Trl and Glen Everest Rd, 49 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2022 put the average speed at 57 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,900 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 Danforth Rd (336 m away, 50 km/h limit), 14% of the 102,870 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
