The latest City count averages about 2,130 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 1.84× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 105 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 3.4 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions rose 43%, from 14 in 2016–2020 to 20 in 2021–2025. No one was killed or seriously injured in any of them.

Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

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 — 8-hour, Apr 11, 2001

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,507 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 116 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,578 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,155 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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.

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

On Kipling Ave between Rexdale Blvd and Frost Park Trl, 186 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 26,400 vehicles a day. Frost St between Marcel Rd and Kipling Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Jan 2018).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kipling Ave · Rexdale Blvd – Frost Park Trl · 186 mApr 2025 · 3 days26,35441 km/h50 km/h54 km/h
Frost St · Marcel Rd – Kipling Ave · 221 mJan 2018 · 24 h26437 km/h48 km/h54 km/h

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 3, 2011.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner
