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 — 14-hour, Sep 30, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,021 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 4,318 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (424 of 901). Evening rush dominates here: 2,204 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 1,778 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.8% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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

On Broadview Ave between Hillside Dr and Bater Ave, 297 m from the corner, a 4-day count in April 2018 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 62 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,200 vehicles a day. Mortimer Ave between Jackman Ave and Burley Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Oct 2023). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Pottery Rd · Mortimer Ave – Todmorden Mills Rd · 73 mMay 2014 · 3 days18,314
Mortimer Ave · Jackman Ave – Burley Ave · 153 mOct 2023 · 3 days11,19635 km/h44 km/h48 km/h
Broadview Ave · Hillside Dr – Bater Ave · 297 mApr 2018 · 4 days16,20350 km/h62 km/h69 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

The worst year was 2024, with 20 collisions; 2025 recorded 17. 28 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 19 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 12 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.
