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, Nov 17, 2004

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 343 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 175 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 163 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 22% above the afternoon peak from 4:45 p.m. (134). Trucks and buses were 12.4% 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 22 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2004, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Gledhill Ave between King Edward Ave and Burrell Ave, 156 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2003 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. King Edward Ave between Gledhill Ave and Burrell Ave measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Apr 2005). The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
King Edward Ave · Gledhill Ave – Burrell Ave · 135 mApr 2005 · 3 days46336 km/h47 km/h53 km/h
Gledhill Ave · King Edward Ave – Burrell Ave · 156 mMar 2003 · 3 days99942 km/h53 km/h59 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
