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, Mar 29, 2023

The east leg carries the load — 8,878 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 148. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,555 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,678 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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

The City's counter on Kingston Rd between West Hill Dr and Orchard Park Dr (99 m away) recorded an average of 66 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 74 km/h. 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 · 99 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Aug 1, 2008.

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 two thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.
