The latest City count averages about 2,150 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 1.86× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 62 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 7.6 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. Collisions fell 31%, from 45 in 2016–2020 to 31 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 76 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 17, 2022 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,911 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 13 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,244 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,191 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% 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 Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 Ellesmere Rd between Birchmount Rd and Mondeo Dr, 190 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2024 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 38,600 vehicles a day. Mondeo Dr between Ellesmere Rd and Carrera Blvd measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Feb 2020). 5 speed humps slow traffic on Mondeo Drive between Ellesmere Rd and Florina Blvd.

Traffic calming

  • Mondeo Drive · Ellesmere Rd – Florina Blvd
    5 speed humps

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.
