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, Mar 10, 2026

The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 859 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 882 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Roselawn Ave between Elm Ridge Dr and Lyon Crt, 338 m from the corner, a 3-day count in July 2023 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,400 vehicles a day. Danesbury Ave between Ridelle Ave and Briar Hill Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 36 km/h (Mar 2026).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Danesbury Ave · Ridelle Ave – Briar Hill Ave · 231 mMar 2026 · 3 days1,02830 km/h36 km/h39 km/h
Roselawn Ave · Elm Ridge Dr – Lyon Crt · 338 mJul 2023 · 3 days6,36533 km/h41 km/h45 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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
