Kingston & Glen Stewart

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 11, 2006

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,651 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 103 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (48 of 83). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,679 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,650 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 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: 2,679 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,650 from 4:30 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 2023, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 2 collisions (7%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jan 30, 2026.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 Glen Stewart Ave between Southwood Dr and Winthorpe Rd, 267 m from the corner, a 3-day count in February 2020 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Main St (377 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 115,195 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Main St (northbound), 377 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 34 km/h, 85th percentile 40 km/h; 0.5% at 50 km/h or more. 115,195 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

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.

25 registered buildings · 1,316 units · 9 social housing · tallest 9 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Ten thefts from vehicles and 12 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 0 in 2023–2025, about 0.0 a year, against 3.1 a year before that. 40% of the vehicle thefts were from apartment-building parking; 67% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 The Beaches.
