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 · Apr 3, 2006
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,274 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 228 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,927 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,898 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.1% 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: 1,927 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,898 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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, 135 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 (293 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.
