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, Jul 15, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,040 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 381 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 361 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 20% above the afternoon peak from 5:15 p.m. (301). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 14 months 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

On Johnston Ave between Lane W of Yonge and S of Poyntz and Botham Rd, 131 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2025 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day. Botham Rd between Franklin Ave and Cameron Ave measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Mar 2015).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Botham Rd · Franklin Ave – Cameron Ave · 249 mMar 2015 · 24 h1,67634 km/h40 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
