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 · Feb 28, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,431 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 110 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 781 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 635 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 635 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 781 from 3:15 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 2017, with 8 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 10 collisions (23%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jun 3, 2012.

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 2011
On Kingston Rd between Stagecoach Crcl and White Ave, 264 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2011 put the average speed at 59 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meadowvale Rd · Kingston Rd – Choiceland Blvd · 106 m | Apr 2013 · 3 days | 4,937 | — | — | — |
| Kingston Rd · Stagecoach Crcl – White Ave · 264 m | Oct 2011 · 24 h | 2,738 | 59 km/h | 67 km/h | 73 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.
