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, Oct 1, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,320 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 31 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (30 of 70). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 774 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 15% above the afternoon peak from 3:15 p.m. (675). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 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

On Burbank Dr between Whittaker Cres and Lockton Crt, 62 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2024 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,200 vehicles a day. Arrowstook Rd between Ambrose Rd and Blue Ridge Rd measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Sep 2015). At the school-zone speed sign on Elkhorn Dr (310 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 307 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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 Jun 17, 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.
