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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 2, 2024 (a weekend day)

The north leg carries the load — 3,913 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 103. Most cyclists arrived from the south (39 of 65). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 832 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 64% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (506). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 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

The City's counter on Brimley Rd between McCowan District Park Trl and Skagway Ave (377 m away) recorded an average of 65 km/h in its 4-day count in June 2001; 85% of drivers were at or under 73 km/h. That segment carries about 12,100 vehicles a day. Anson Ave between Nicolan Rd and Randall Cres measured slower: 45 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Sep 2005). The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Macduff Cres (177 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 9,794 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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

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

Toronto Police place five thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.
