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, Oct 28, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,036 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 53 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,990 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,072 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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

On Burnhamthorpe Rd between Echo Valley Rd and Lorraine Gdns, 382 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 54 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 66 km/h or more. That segment carries about 21,800 vehicles a day. Wedgewood Dr between Goswell Rd and Burnhamthorpe Rd measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Mar 2011).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Wedgewood Dr · Goswell Rd – Burnhamthorpe Rd · 114 mMar 2011 · 24 h21637 km/h48 km/h54 km/h
Burnhamthorpe Rd · Echo Valley Rd – Lorraine Gdns · 382 mApr 2026 · 3 days21,77554 km/h60 km/h66 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
