Just one of those 72 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 — 8-hour, Apr 7, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,951 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 437 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,476 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,371 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Dunblaine Ave between Elm Rd and Lane E of Avenue and S of Dunblaine, 115 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2013 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Avenue Rd · Dunblaine Ave – Joicey Blvd · 48 mSep 2012 · 3 days15,061
Dunblaine Ave · Elm Rd – Lane E of Avenue and S of Dunblaine · 115 mNov 2013 · 24 h98834 km/h41 km/h44 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
