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, Oct 27, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,026 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 252 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 534 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 250 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Highbourne Rd between Tranmer Ave and College View Ave, 133 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2021 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. College View Ave between Highbourne Rd and Avenue Rd measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Jun 2018). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Highbourne Road between College View Ave and Tranmer Ave.

Traffic calming

  • Highbourne Road · College View Ave – Tranmer Ave
    3 speed humps

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.
