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, Nov 25, 2023 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 5,238 eastbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 160. Most cyclists arrived from the west (152 of 310). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,440 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 47% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (980). Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 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 Dupont St between Perth Ave and Franklin Ave (185 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 12,700 vehicles a day. Edwin Ave between Dupont St and Lane N of Dupont and W of Franklin measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 36 km/h (Apr 2012). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Edwin Avenue between Dupont St and Ruskin Ave.

Traffic calming

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 six thefts from vehicles and four 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. 33% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
