There is roughly one pedestrian for every 5 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). Cyclists were 3.3% of vehicle volume, about 4.3× the typical share. That comes with about 0.5 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — well below the median of 31 for the decade. None of them involved a death or serious injury.

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 27, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 477 southbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 191. Morning rush is the busier period: 352 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 176 from 2:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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

The City's counter on Chartwell Rd between Badger Dr and Larstone Ave (351 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 2-day count in February 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Chartwell Rd · Badger Dr – Larstone Ave · 351 mFeb 2020 · 2 days1,27429 km/h38 km/h43 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
