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
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,076 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 604 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (262 of 524). Evening rush dominates here: 1,382 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 836 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% 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: 836 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,382 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 2017, with 39 collisions; 2025 recorded 18. 36 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 20 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 11 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 13, 2026.

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, 340 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. Warden Ave between Lynn Rd and Dodge Rd measured slower: 46 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 54 km/h (Nov 2017).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warden Ave · Lynn Rd – Dodge Rd · 223 m | Nov 2017 · 2 days | 4,999 | 46 km/h | 54 km/h | 59 km/h |
| Kingston Rd · Queensbury Ave – Audrey Ave · 340 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.
