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, Nov 5, 2022 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,636 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 288 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (43 of 72). Evening rush dominates here: 2,116 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,223 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% 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 Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 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.

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 Markham Rd and Brinloor Blvd, 68 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 63 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 70 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 77 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,200 vehicles a day. Brinloor Blvd between P Mackie Pub Gt and Service Rd measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Oct 2005). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Brinloor Blvd (221 m away, 30 km/h limit), 20% of the 4,045 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Feb 24, 2011.

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

Two thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
