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, Oct 27, 2022

The east leg carries the load — 632 westbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 190. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 252 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 258 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Braemar Ave between College View Ave and Eglinton Ave W (160 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. College View Ave between Highbourne Rd and Avenue Rd measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Jun 2018). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
College View Ave · Highbourne Rd – Avenue Rd · 141 mJun 2018 · 3 days2,85029 km/h37 km/h41 km/h
Braemar Ave · College View Ave – Eglinton Ave W · 160 mSep 2005 · 3 days67732 km/h43 km/h49 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
