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 9, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,850 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 158 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,521 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,606 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.2% 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 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: 1,521 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,606 from 4:00 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 2017, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 4 collisions (7%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 3, 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 2021
On Northcrest Rd between Kipling Ave and Acme Cres, 88 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2021 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
