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 — 14-hour, Nov 9, 2025 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,873 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 1,984 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (39 of 86). Evening rush dominates here: 1,661 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 1,048 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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

On Davenport Rd between Albany Ave and Tollkeeper's Lane, 351 m from the corner, a 5-day count in May 2008 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. Walmer Rd between Austin Ter and Castle View Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Sep 2010). The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kendal Ave · Bridgman Ave – Walmer Rd · 78 mSep 2009 · 3 days12,350
Walmer Rd · Austin Ter – Castle View Ave · 222 mSep 2010 · 4 days75928 km/h38 km/h44 km/h
Davenport Rd · Albany Ave – Tollkeeper's Lane · 351 mMay 2008 · 5 days31033 km/h45 km/h50 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 19, 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

Three thefts from vehicles and six bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 83% of the bike thefts were from school or campus property. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 10, 2026.

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.
