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 20, 2024 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,614 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 237 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (258 of 496). Evening rush dominates here: 1,258 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 768 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 768 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,258 from 3:00 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
The worst year was 2019, with 5 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 3 collisions (17%) involved an injury. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%). The most recent report on file is from Dec 24, 2024.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 2019
On Kingston Rd between Queensbury Ave and Audrey Ave, 43 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2019 put the average speed at 53 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 72 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

| Kingston Rd · Queensbury Ave – Audrey Ave · 43 m | Mar 2019 · 24 h | 24,716 | 53 km/h | 64 km/h | 72 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.
