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, Apr 12, 2007

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,997 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 311 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (92 of 131). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 920 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 11% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (829). Trucks and buses were 10.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Dearbourne Ave between Broadview Ave and Bowden St, 184 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2000 put the average speed at 35 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 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 26 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Dearbourne Avenue between Bowden St and Broadview Ave (installed 2002).

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Apr 24, 2015.

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

Six thefts from vehicles and four bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 0.9 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
