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 · Jul 18, 2012
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,842 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 82 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,746 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,593 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 12.1% 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 14 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, 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: 1,593 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,746 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
Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

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.

The City's most recent midblock count on Kipling Ave between Torlake Cres and Evans Ave (107 m away, Feb 2016) recorded volume only — about 11,415 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
