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 — 14-hour, Oct 8, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 8,115 eastbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 5,201. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,423 of 3,004). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,597 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,692 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Donlands Ave between Chan Lane and Strathmore Blvd (71 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 7,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Stratmore Blvd (117 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 69,280 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 2 serious-injury collisions have been recorded here (2 cyclists involved), the latest on Jun 3, 2026. 1 older KSI collision is on file from before 2016.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place 14 thefts from vehicles and 17 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 5.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
