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, May 30, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 2,781 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 32. Most cyclists arrived from the west (32 of 40). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 816 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 767 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.

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 Blythwood Rd between Stratford Cres and Blyth Dale Rd (22 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 9,100 vehicles a day. Stratford Cres between Blythwood Rd and Mildenhall Rd measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Jun 2019).

Stratford Cres · Blythwood Rd – Mildenhall Rd · 105 mJun 2019 · 3 days26028 km/h43 km/h50 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.

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.
