Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 1,540 vehicles, 1.33× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 4 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 8.8% of vehicle volume, about 11× the typical share. That comes with about 22 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 10.0 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 2.0× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions edged down 5%, from 111 in 2016–2020 to 105 in 2021–2025. About one in 108 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Lansdowne Ave between Lumbervale Ave and Macgregor Playground Trl, 248 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,100 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Lansdowne Ave (188 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 16,574 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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
