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 — 8-hour, Jan 2, 2007

The north leg carries the load — 3,488 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 271. Most cyclists arrived from the south (56 of 115). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,156 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 40% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (825). Trucks and buses were 7.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 20 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

The City's counter on Broadview Ave between Don Valley Dr and Woodville Ave (172 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h.

At the school-zone speed sign on Gowan Ave (352 m away, 30 km/h limit), 2.7% of the 30,134 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 7, 2009.

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 one theft from a vehicle and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.
