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, Mar 29, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,621 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 96 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (59 of 117). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,104 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,176 from 2:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Eldon Ave between Danforth Ave and Lane N of Danforth and E of Sibley, 22 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2012 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. Danforth Ave between Sibley Ave and Eldon Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2025). The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Eldon Avenue between Danforth Ave and Dentoria Park Avenue.

| Eldon Ave · Danforth Ave – Lane N of Danforth and E of Sibley · 22 m | Oct 2012 · 3 days | 744 | 38 km/h | 48 km/h | 55 km/h |

Traffic calming
- Eldon Avenue · Danforth Ave – Dentoria Park Avenue
3 speed humps
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 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Apr 23, 2019.

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