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, Jun 1, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,897 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 82 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (65 of 131). Evening rush dominates here: 1,783 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,517 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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
On Danforth Rd between Danforth Ave and Patterson Ave, 288 m from the corner, a 3-day count in July 2024 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 56 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,000 vehicles a day. Danforth Ave between Elward Blvd and August Ave measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (May 2022). At the school-zone speed sign on Denton Ave (248 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.9% of the 63,285 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Denton Ave (eastbound) · 63,285 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2016, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 10 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported, 1 of them fatal; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 17, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Aug 24, 2023.
By year

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.
