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 · Mar 29, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,521 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 93 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,651 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 2,331 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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: 2,331 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,651 from 4:00 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 2024, with 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 12 collisions (38%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 1, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jan 26, 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2011
On Kingston Rd between West Hill Dr and Orchard Park Dr, 99 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2011 put the average speed at 66 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 74 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 80 km/h or more. That segment carries about 36,100 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 · West Hill Dr – Orchard Park Dr · 99 m | Jun 2011 · 24 h | 36,143 | 66 km/h | 74 km/h | 80 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.
