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, Sep 11, 1996

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 4,709 northbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 83. Most cyclists arrived from the south (133 of 269). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,371 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,191). Trucks and buses were 5.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 30 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1996, 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.

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 Dundas St W between Chelsea Ave and Glenlake Ave (203 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 27,800 vehicles a day. Abbott Ave between Lane W of Indian Rd and N of Abbott and Indian Road Cres measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Jul 2026). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Dundas St W · Chelsea Ave – Glenlake Ave · 203 mSep 2022 · 3 days27,84043 km/h52 km/h57 km/h
Abbott Ave · Lane W of Indian Rd and N of Abbott – Indian Road Cres · 370 mJul 2026 · 3 days15724 km/h33 km/h38 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

Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.0 a year. 57% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
