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, Sep 9, 2009

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 935 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 185. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 272 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 291 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.0% 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 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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 counter on Liverpool St between Lane W of Runnymede and S of Henrietta and Castleton Ave (64 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. Castleton Ave between Lane N of St Clair and E of Mould and Liverpool St measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Jul 2014). The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Castleton Ave · Lane N of St Clair and E of Mould – Liverpool St · 29 mJul 2014 · 2 days1,79836 km/h44 km/h49 km/h
Liverpool St · Lane W of Runnymede and S of Henrietta – Castleton Ave · 64 mSep 2009 · 3 days90634 km/h47 km/h54 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

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
