The Kingsway & Princess Margaret

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 29, 1999

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,884 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 1,159 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,223 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,202 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 27 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1999, 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: 1,223 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,202 from 4:30 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 4 collisions. 4 collisions (25%) involved an injury. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 14, 2026.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 2020

On The Kingsway between Oldham Rd and Kipling Ave, 389 m from the corner, a 2-day count in January 2020 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 56 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Princess Margaret Blvd between Bemersyde Dr and Princess Anne Cres measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Mar 2019).

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.

Within a kilometre there is one RentSafeTO-registered apartment building — 126 rental units. The nearest is 25 Warrender Ave (873 m, 126 units, 13 storeys, built 1968), which scored 96 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

1 registered building · 126 units · tallest 13 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.

One theft from a vehicle and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

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 Princess-Rosethorn.
