St Clair & Kennedy

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 10, 2024 · weekend

The west leg carries the load — 8,898 eastbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,811. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,451 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 47% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,663). Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,663 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,451 from 2:30 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

2018 was the peak year (34 collisions), and 2025 closed with 13. 23% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 28 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 22 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 28, 2026.

Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt; 2 collisions involved vehicle occupants only. 2 of the 3 happened in darkness — 67%, above the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Aug 23, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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

The City's counter on Kennedy Rd between Brenda Cres and Summer Dr (372 m away) recorded an average of 67 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2003; 85% of drivers were at or under 74 km/h. That segment carries about 12,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Danforth Rd (264 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.0% of the 160,802 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

Speed sign

Danforth Rd (eastbound), 264 m — 50 km/h zone. Median 45 km/h, 85th percentile 54 km/h; 3.0% at 60 km/h or more. 160,802 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

Five registered apartment buildings with 339 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 3485 St Clair Ave E (632 m, 97 units, 9 storeys, built 1968), which scored 96 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 94, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

5 registered buildings · 339 units · 2 social housing · tallest 10 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 16, 2026.

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 Clairlea-Birchmount.
