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, Mar 18, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,291 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 78% of the total, against 5 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the north (39 of 66). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 216 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 23% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (175). Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 18 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

On Maplewood Ave between Humewood Dr and Cherrywood Ave, 220 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2017 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 37 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. Arlington Ave between Normanna Ave and Maplewood Ave measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Apr 2025). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Arlington Ave · Normanna Ave – Maplewood Ave · 67 mApr 2025 · 24 h2,00927 km/h34 km/h38 km/h
Maplewood Ave · Humewood Dr – Cherrywood Ave · 220 mOct 2017 · 24 h93330 km/h37 km/h40 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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
