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 23, 2006

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 9,759 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 60 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,323 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,279 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% 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.

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 2022

On Kingston Rd between Markham Rd and Brinloor Blvd, 379 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 63 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 70 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 77 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
