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, Oct 7, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 10,385 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 1,020 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,039 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,960 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Evans Ave between Bellman Ave and Diesel Dr, 66 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2025 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,100 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Evans Ave · Bellman Ave – Diesel Dr · 66 mNov 2025 · 3 days20,07056 km/h63 km/h69 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

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.
