Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2018, with 30 collisions; 2025 recorded 20. 37 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 24 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 15 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Aug 9, 2020.

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 Gradwell Dr and Eastville Ave, 197 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 66 km/h or more. That segment carries about 17,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Brooklawn Ave between Lane S of Kingston and W of Harewood and Kingston Rd measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Jan 2025).

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.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Seven thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 71% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Cliffcrest.
