Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 1,450 vehicles, 1.25× the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 83 vehicles, well below the typical one per 13. That comes with about 8.4 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. The pace has been steady: 42 collisions in 2016–2020 and 42 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 84 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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, Feb 9, 2022

The north leg carries the load — 5,225 southbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,296. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,792 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 29% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (1,387). Trucks and buses were 8.1% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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

The City's most recent midblock count on Carrier Dr between Hwy 27 S and Woodbine Downs Blvd (90 m away, Dec 2011) recorded volume only — about 3,872 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Carrier Dr · Hwy 27 S – Woodbine Downs Blvd · 90 mDec 2011 · 3 days3,872

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.
