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 — 14-hour, Aug 5, 2026

The west leg carries the load — 3,897 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 3. Most cyclists arrived from the east (70 of 168). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 779 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (563). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Cedarvale Ave between Sammon Ave and Carruthers Lane (138 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. Lumsden Ave between Oak Park Ave and Westlake Ave measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Sep 2011). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Cedarvale Avenue between Lumsden Ave and Cosburn Ave (installed 2025).

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
