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, Dec 17, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 16,070 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 1,182 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 3,289 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 3,026 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 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

On Keele St between Rustic Rd and Falstaff Ave, 149 m from the corner, a 3-day count in December 2021 put the average speed at 57 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 69 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 77 km/h or more. That segment carries about 35,500 vehicles a day. Rustic Rd between Blandorman Rd and Cornelius Pkwy measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Mar 2023). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Rustic Road between Keele St and Culford Rd.

Traffic calming

  • Rustic Road · Keele St – Culford Rd
    7 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 27, 2015. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Maple Leaf.
