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 28, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,219 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 758 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (133 of 300). Evening rush dominates here: 1,695 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,369 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% 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 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

On Dufferin St between Dufferin Grove Park Trl and Dufferin Park Ave, 224 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2026 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 46 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,900 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dufferin St · Dufferin Grove Park Trl – Dufferin Park Ave · 224 mMar 2026 · 3 days20,88336 km/h46 km/h51 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Jun 14, 2008.

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.
