Kipling & Horner

Traffic volume14-hour count · Mar 18, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 11,007 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 4,205 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,374 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,454 from 2:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.8% 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 19 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,374 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,454 from 2:30 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

The worst year was 2018, with 26 collisions; 2025 recorded 18. 32 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 17 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 12 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 21, 2026.

None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. All happened in daylight or lit conditions (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions occur in darkness). 2025 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on May 17, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Horner Ave between Kipling Ave and Tupper Ave, 45 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2025 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,700 vehicles a day.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Within a kilometre there are four RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 44 rental units. The nearest is 104 Sixteenth St (707 m, 12 units, 3 storeys, built 1952), which scored 94 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

4 registered buildings · 44 units · tallest 3 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Two thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Mimico-Queensway.
