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 28, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 15,092 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 2,455 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,196 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,428 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 3,196 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,428 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

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 Lochleven Dr and 3430 Kingston Rd, 238 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Markham Rd between Markanna Dr and Eglinton Ave E measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (May 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Brinloor Blvd (309 m away, 30 km/h limit), 21% of the 5,611 vehicles logged in June 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
