Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 242 (2.5 km) and the nearest ambulance station 3.3 km away.
Nearest station by straight line — not a response time, and not necessarily the station that would answer a call.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 78 m away, ≈79 spaces; 79 m away, ≈52 spaces; 142 m away, ≈7 spaces; 166 m away, ≈80 spaces; 219 m away, ≈3 spaces; 347 m away, ≈104 spaces.
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, Dec 10, 2022 (a weekend day)
The east leg carries the load — 6,298 westbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 3,685. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,029 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 52% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,999). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% 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 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 Steeles Ave E between Ashcott St and Brimley Rd (190 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 23,200 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Port Royal Trl (365 m away, 40 km/h limit), 2.9% of the 40,868 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brimley Rd · Port Royal Trl – Steeles Ave E · 190 m | Jun 2016 · 3 days | 21,266 | — | — | — |
| Steeles Ave E · Ashcott St – Brimley Rd · 190 m | Apr 2025 · 3 days | 23,221 | 49 km/h | 59 km/h | 64 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 365 m
Port Royal Trl (westbound), 417/419 Port Royal Trail · 40,868 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Sep 6, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #747 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest Sep 6, 2023 |
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.

Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Milliken.
