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 · May 22, 2019

The north leg carries the load — 8,143 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 102. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,325 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,264 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 18.5% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 2,325 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,264 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).

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 Warnica Ave and North Queen St (96 m away) recorded an average of 55 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. 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.
