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, Nov 30, 2016

The east leg carries the load — 7,865 westbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 464. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,808 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,669 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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 Tollerton Ave between Finch Ave E and Mango Dr (37 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 24-hour count in December 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 46 km/h. That segment carries about 2,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Heathview Ave · Brucedale Cres – Finch Ave E · 31 mMay 2002 · 24 h911
Tollerton Ave · Finch Ave E – Mango Dr · 37 mDec 2014 · 24 h2,49439 km/h46 km/h52 km/h
Finch Ave E · Tollerton Ave – Page Ave · 95 mOct 2011 · 3 days18,937

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.
