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, Oct 20, 2024 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,369 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 390 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,252 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 956 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% 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 Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Dixon Ave between Brookmount Rd and Rainsford Rd, 242 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2010 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 1 speed hump slow traffic on Dixon Avenue between Lockwood Rd and Kingston Rd.

Traffic calming

  • Dixon Avenue · Lockwood Rd – Kingston Rd
    1 speed hump

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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 14 collisions. 14 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 3, 2026.

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 Jun 2, 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

Nine thefts from vehicles and seven bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 71% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
