The latest City count averages about 2,780 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 2.4× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 22 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 32 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 8.1 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.64× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 45%, from 204 in 2016–2020 to 112 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 316 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 11, 2025

No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 8,668 and 10,529 vehicles. Most cyclists arrived from the east (107 of 256). Evening rush dominates here: 3,798 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 3,452 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's most recent midblock count on Kipling Ave between Dundas St W and Bloor St W (21 m away, Sep 2014) recorded volume only — about 15,005 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kipling Ave · Dundas St W – Bloor St W · 21 mSep 2014 · 3 days15,005
Bloor St W · Kipling Ave – Prennan Ave · 60 mSep 2013 · 11 days16,171

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

The worst year was 2019, with 63 collisions; 2025 recorded 19. 51 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 30 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
