Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 29, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 14,705 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 153 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,974 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,633 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 7.4% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 2,633 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,974 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 21 collisions. 26 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 18 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 10, 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 Oct 20, 2017.

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 2019
On Kipling Ave between Warnica Ave and North Queen St, 183 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2019 put the average speed at 55 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.
