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 north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,144 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 92 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (77 of 153). Evening rush dominates here: 2,501 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,241 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% 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: 2,241 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,501 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 2018, with 3 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 4 collisions (25%) involved an injury. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 31% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 15, 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 Aug 19, 2019.

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, 257 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.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kingston Rd · Queensbury Ave – Audrey Ave · 257 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.
