There is roughly one pedestrian for every 53 vehicles, well below the typical one per 13. That comes with about 13 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 4.1× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. Collisions rose 25%, from 57 in 2016–2020 to 71 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 128 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 — 8-hour, Jan 27, 2022

The south leg carries the load — 8,108 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 574. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,287 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,407 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 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.

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 Keele St between George Butchart Dr and Whitburn Cres (131 m away) recorded an average of 58 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 69 km/h. That segment carries about 36,600 vehicles a day. Downsview Park Blvd between Downsview Park Trl and Keele St measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Nov 2025). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Blaydon Ave (246 m away, 40 km/h limit), 2.2% of the 16,293 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
