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).

Traffic volume

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

The west leg carries the load — 9,362 eastbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 6,661. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,968 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 29% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,295). Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% 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 McNicoll Ave between Brimley Rd and Hutchcroft Ave (207 m away) recorded an average of 54 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 62 km/h. That segment carries about 20,100 vehicles a day. Brimley Rd between Danjohn Cres and Finch Corridor Trl measured slower: 51 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 59 km/h (Mar 2024).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Brimley Rd · Danjohn Cres – Finch Corridor Trl · 60 mMar 2024 · 3 days18,92251 km/h59 km/h64 km/h
McNicoll Ave · Brimley Rd – Hutchcroft Ave · 207 mMar 2024 · 3 days20,06854 km/h62 km/h67 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

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jan 29, 2024. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places one of them just outside the 65 m radius.
