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 · Mar 31, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 12,869 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 1,090 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,721 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,213 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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: 2,213 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,721 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
The worst year was 2024, with 5 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 7 collisions (30%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 4% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jan 26, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 23, 2024.

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
On Kipling Ave between Bychris Crt and St Andrews Blvd, 50 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 59 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. St Andrews Blvd between Windsor Rd and Evernby Blvd measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Sep 2023).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kipling Ave · Bychris Crt – St Andrews Blvd · 50 m | May 2022 · 3 days | 22,924 | 59 km/h | 68 km/h | 74 km/h |
| St Andrews Blvd · Windsor Rd – Evernby Blvd · 225 m | Sep 2023 · 3 days | 3,324 | 40 km/h | 48 km/h | 53 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.
