St Dennis & Linkwood

Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 16, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 4,089 and 5,106 vehicles. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,483 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,405 from 3:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,483 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,405 from 3:45 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

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 darkness. The most recent was on Jan 20, 2025.

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 St Dennis Dr between Linkwood Lane and St Dennis Eglinton E Ramp, 308 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2025 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more.
