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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 1, 2010

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 2,101 eastbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 330. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 855 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 24% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (687). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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 Alyward St between Lonborough Ave and Castlefield Ave (91 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 51 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. Beechborough Ave between Glenhaven St and Claybrooke St measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Aug 2023). The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Beechborough Avenue between Keele St and Castlefield Ave.

Traffic calming

  • Beechborough Avenue · Keele St – Castlefield Ave
    4 speed humps

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.
