Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 279 m away, ≈69 spaces; 296 m away, ≈48 spaces; 316 m away, ≈136 spaces; 318 m away, ≈67 spaces; 331 m away, ≈51 spaces; 359 m away, ≈159 spaces.
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, Apr 19, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,053 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 36% of the total, against 153 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 476 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 464 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
On East Ave between Blue Anchor Trl and Island Rd, 308 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2019 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,200 vehicles a day. Kirkdene Dr between Rouge Highlands Dr and Bluebird Pl measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Jun 2019). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Friendship Ave (229 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 11,163 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kirkdene Dr · Rouge Highlands Dr – Bluebird Pl · 142 m | Jun 2019 · 24 h | 652 | 33 km/h | 43 km/h | 50 km/h |
| East Ave · Blue Anchor Trl – Island Rd · 308 m | Nov 2019 · 3 days | 5,190 | 40 km/h | 47 km/h | 52 km/h |

Friendship Ave (northbound), Opp 410 Friendship Ave · 11,163 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
