Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 2,470 vehicles, 2.1× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 64 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 14 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 3.9 per 10,000 counted vehicles, in line with the median rate for counted intersections. The pace has been steady: 67 collisions in 2016–2020 and 69 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 136 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, Oct 29, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 14,705 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 153 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,974 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,633 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 7.4% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 Warnica Ave and North Queen St, 44 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2019 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kipling Ave · Warnica Ave – North Queen St · 44 mSep 2019 · 2 days10,71749 km/h59 km/h65 km/h
North Queen St · Kipling Ave – Vansco Rd · 200 mSep 2012 · 3 days9,415

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.
