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, Sep 5, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 11,131 eastbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 8,071. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,027 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,787). Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years 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

The City's counter on Dufferin St between Wallace Emerson Park Trl and Galleria Rd (165 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 20,600 vehicles a day. Dupont St between Radiator St and Graphophone Grv measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Jun 2022). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Dufferin St (398 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 90,770 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.

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 five thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 16, 2026.
