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, May 26, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,211 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 2,145 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,720 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,460 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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 Finch Ave W between Yonge St and Duplex Ave, 167 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,600 vehicles a day. Greenview Ave between Finch Ave W and Hendon Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Jul 2003). At the school-zone speed sign on Kempford Blvd (332 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 44,427 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Kempford Blvd (westbound) · 44,427 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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 2019, with 16 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 17 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 10 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (11%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 21, 2026.

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 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 2, 2024.
By year

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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
