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, Jan 22, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 15,206 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 467 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,843 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 2,453 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

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 Kingston Rd between West Hill Dr and Orchard Park Dr, 395 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2011 put the average speed at 66 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 74 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 80 km/h or more. That segment carries about 36,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kingston Rd · West Hill Dr – Orchard Park Dr · 395 mJun 2011 · 24 h36,14366 km/h74 km/h80 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.

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
