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 · Dec 14, 2010
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,911 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 69 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,197 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m., 11% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (1,082). Trucks and buses were 6.4% 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 16 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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: 1,197 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 1,082 from 4:15 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 13 collisions. 16 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 17, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Dec 29, 2014.

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 Deep Dene Dr and Falcon Lane, 123 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2011 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 10,100 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kingston Rd · Deep Dene Dr – Falcon Lane · 123 m | Jun 2011 · 24 h | 10,068 | 56 km/h | 64 km/h | 69 km/h |
| Old Kingston Rd · Morrish Rd – Kingston Rd · 136 m | Oct 2013 · 3 days | 9,165 | — | — | — |
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.
