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 · Jun 7, 2016
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,464 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 1,238 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 3,068 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,760 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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: 2,760 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,068 from 5:00 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 2018, with 19 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 11 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 28, 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 2010
On Kipling Ave between Advance Rd and Six Point Rd, 74 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2010 put the average speed at 65 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 74 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 79 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kipling Ave · Advance Rd – Six Point Rd · 74 m | Mar 2010 · 24 h | 12,611 | 65 km/h | 74 km/h | 79 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.
