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, Nov 29, 2001

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,093 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 302. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 955 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 922 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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 Davenport Rd between Macpherson Ave and Glen Edyth Dr (91 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 11,200 vehicles a day. Macpherson Ave between Huron St and Madison Ave measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Nov 2021).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Davenport Rd · Macpherson Ave – Glen Edyth Dr · 91 mMar 2026 · 3 days11,24439 km/h44 km/h49 km/h
Macpherson Ave · Huron St – Madison Ave · 172 mNov 2021 · 3 days1,39332 km/h42 km/h48 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

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