Kipling Ave & Kipling Ave Bicycle Trl

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 8, 2022

The north leg carries the load — 3,752 southbound vehicles, or 57% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,851. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,066 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (944). Trucks and buses were 6.6% 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 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: 944 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,066 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

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 darkness. The most recent was on Mar 19, 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.
