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, Oct 7, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 935 southbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 16. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 207 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 200 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Kendal Ave between Bernard Ave and Dupont St (276 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. Bridgman Ave between Kendal Ave and Dartnell Ave measured slower: 22 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Mar 2018). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Bridgman Avenue between Bathurst St and Kendal Ave.

Traffic calming

  • Bridgman Avenue · Bathurst St – Kendal Ave
    5 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

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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

Toronto Police place no thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.
