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, Nov 9, 2024 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 11,006 southbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 630. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,877 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 41% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,327). Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 counter on Albion Rd between Lund Ave and Riverdale Dr (146 m away) recorded an average of 56 km/h in its 2-day count in June 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 66 km/h. That segment carries about 22,200 vehicles a day. Calstock Dr between Allcroft Dr and Alhart Dr measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Oct 2025). The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Albion Rd · Lund Ave – Riverdale Dr · 146 mJun 2012 · 2 days22,21756 km/h66 km/h72 km/h
Calstock Dr · Allcroft Dr – Alhart Dr · 178 mOct 2025 · 3 days82635 km/h44 km/h48 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 Sep 26, 2007.

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.
