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, Dec 3, 2014

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 25,911 eastbound vehicles, or 70% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,229. Most cyclists arrived from the west (94 of 176). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 5,958 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (5,312). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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 Lake Shore Blvd W between Parkside Dr S and Colborne Lodge Dr (156 m away, May 2011) recorded volume only — about 24,515 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lake Shore Blvd W · Parkside Dr S – Colborne Lodge Dr · 156 mMay 2011 · 24 h24,515
Colborne Lodge Dr · The Queensway – High Park Trl · 187 mJun 2021 · 3 days1,234

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

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 15, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 2. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places one of them just outside the 65 m radius.

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.
