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, 2018
The south leg carries the load — 1,048 northbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 280. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 526 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 31% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (401). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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
The City's counter on Elm Rd between Felbrigg Ave and Haddington Ave (327 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 46 km/h. That segment carries about 1,800 vehicles a day. Old Orchard Grv between Elm Rd and Avenue Rd measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Sep 2018). The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Old Orchard Grv · Elm Rd – Avenue Rd · 143 m | Sep 2018 · 3 days | 1,708 | 34 km/h | 42 km/h | 46 km/h |
| Elm Rd · Felbrigg Ave – Haddington Ave · 327 m | May 2013 · 24 h | 1,843 | 39 km/h | 46 km/h | 50 km/h |
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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 25, 2026.
