Kipling & Burnhamthorpe

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 4, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 8,702 eastbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 5,913. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,054 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 7:00 a.m. (2,448). Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 2,448 vehicles in the hour from 7:00 a.m. and 3,054 from 4:45 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

2024 was the peak year (25 collisions), and 2025 closed with 15. 21% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 22 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, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 6, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 12, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 Burnhamthorpe Rd between Echo Valley Rd and Lorraine Gdns (312 m away) recorded an average of 54 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 21,800 vehicles a day.

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.

Two registered apartment buildings with 84 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 24 Burnhamthorpe Rd (848 m, 42 units, 5 storeys, built 1959), which scored 94 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

2 registered buildings · 84 units · tallest 5 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 four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Islington.
