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 19, 2017

The east leg carries the load — 785 westbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 185. Morning rush is the busier period: 370 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 316 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.1% 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 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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 Colin Ave between Anderson Ave and Eglinton Ave W (109 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 46 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. Anderson Ave between Maxwell Ave and Colin Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (May 2009). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Anderson Ave · Maxwell Ave – Colin Ave · 52 mMay 2009 · 3 days1,99631 km/h38 km/h43 km/h
Colin Ave · Anderson Ave – Eglinton Ave W · 109 mJul 2022 · 3 days1,07237 km/h46 km/h50 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
