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 — 14-hour, Nov 25, 2023 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,876 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 1,415 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 3,651 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,353 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Dufferin St between Combe Ave and Clifton Ave, 151 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2014 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 61 km/h or more. That segment carries about 200 vehicles a day. Kennard Ave between Wilson Heights Blvd and William R Allen Rd measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 36 km/h (Nov 2022). The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kennard Ave · Wilson Heights Blvd – William R Allen Rd · 51 mNov 2022 · 24 h6,87528 km/h36 km/h40 km/h

Dufferin St · Combe Ave – Clifton Ave · 151 mOct 2014 · 24 h23945 km/h54 km/h61 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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 23, 2011.

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

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
