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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 25, 2023

The west leg carries the load — 1,251 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 109. Most cyclists arrived from the east (132 of 263). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 314 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 43% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (220). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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 counter on Baby Point Rd between Brumell Ave and Humbercrest Blvd (186 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 2-day count in June 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 2,900 vehicles a day. Thornhill Ave between Raymond Ave and Baby Point Rd measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Apr 2024). The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on St Marks Rd (237 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 12,254 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.
