The latest City count averages about 1,740 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 1.50× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 8 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. That comes with about 12 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 4.9 per 10,000 counted vehicles, in line with the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions edged up 15%, from 55 in 2016–2020 to 63 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 118 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 — 14-hour, Jun 11, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,272 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 1,720 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,247 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,334 from 5:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.7% 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. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Finch Ave E between Brimley Rd and East Highland Creek Trl, 375 m from the corner, a 2-day count in July 2023 put the average speed at 54 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 62 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,900 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Chartland Blvd S (345 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 9,210 vehicles logged in May 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
