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 — 8-hour, Apr 25, 2016
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,822 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 378 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,101 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,899 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
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 Avenue Rd between Elwood Blvd and Kelway Blvd, 246 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2025 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 29,400 vehicles a day. Castlefield Ave between Avenue Rd and Castlewood Rd measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Mar 2026). At the school-zone speed sign on Castlefield Ave (209 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.9% of the 10,687 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Castlefield Avenue between Avenue Rd and Rosewell Ave.

Traffic calming

3 speed humps
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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2017, with 21 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 9 collisions (10%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 17 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

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 20, 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.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Four thefts from vehicles and four bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 4 | 1 | 0 | house driveway/garage (3), other (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 22, 2023. 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.
