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, Apr 13, 2025 (a weekend day)

The east leg carries the load — 5,635 westbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,146. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,687 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 95% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (864). Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 17 months 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

The City's most recent midblock count on Sherway Gardens Rd between Queensway W and Gardiner Expy Express W (113 m away, Sep 2009) recorded volume only — about 9,469 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Sherway Gardens Rd · Queensway W – Gardiner Expy Express W · 113 mSep 2009 · 3 days9,469

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.

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.
