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 · Feb 8, 2022
The south leg carries the load — 4,981 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 60. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,445 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,558 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 1,445 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,558 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
2023 was the peak year (7 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 26, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Apr 2, 2025. 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 Kipling Ave between Snaresbrook Dr and Genthorn Ave (157 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 2-day count in March 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 61 km/h. That segment carries about 9,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Genthorn Ave between Wansey Rd and Moncrieff Dr measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 51 km/h (Jan 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Kipling Ave (92 m away, 50 km/h limit), 7.8% of the 73,196 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
