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, Mar 31, 2015

The south leg carries the load — 9,108 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 109. Morning rush is the busier period: 2,962 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 2,614 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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

The City's counter on Bathurst St between Lytton Blvd and Hillmount Ave (61 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 33,100 vehicles a day. Viewmount Ave between Glenmount Ave and Dalemount Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Oct 2025).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bathurst St · Lytton Blvd – Hillmount Ave · 61 mApr 2024 · 3 days33,10144 km/h54 km/h62 km/h
Viewmount Ave · Glenmount Ave – Dalemount Ave · 257 mOct 2025 · 3 days2,19137 km/h44 km/h48 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

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.

Thefts reported at this corner
