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, Apr 27, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 8,472 southbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 269. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,466 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,362 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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 Dufferin St between Keywest Ave and Hunter Ave (362 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 36 km/h. That segment carries about 27,000 vehicles a day. Gibson St between Westmount Ave and Dufferin St measured slower: 18 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 25 km/h (Jun 2024).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Gibson St · Westmount Ave – Dufferin St · 45 mJun 2024 · 3 days1,02718 km/h25 km/h29 km/h
Dufferin St · Keywest Ave – Hunter Ave · 362 mJun 2024 · 24 h27,03931 km/h36 km/h39 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured

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. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Feb 10, 2013. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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
