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 22, 2023

The west leg carries the load — 7,314 eastbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,752. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,224 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,945). Trucks and buses were 7.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years 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 most recent midblock count on Dixon Rd between Hwy 27 S and Skyway Ave (36 m away, Nov 2011) recorded volume only — about 21,033 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dixon Rd · Hwy 27 S – Skyway Ave · 36 mNov 2011 · 3 days21,033
Attwell Dr · Dixon Rd – Carlson Crt · 91 mDec 2011 · 3 days13,391
Skyway Ave · Dixon Rd – Meridian Rd · 214 mDec 2011 · 3 days11,202

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

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jul 6, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 2. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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.
