The latest City count averages about 3,040 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 2.6× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 163 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 5.9 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions rose 19%, from 27 in 2016–2020 to 32 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 59 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

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 — 8-hour, Mar 28, 2017

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 12,521 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 182 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,064 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,006 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.

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 Scarborough Golf Club Rd and 3752 Kingston Rd, 160 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 55 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 29,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kingston Rd · Scarborough Golf Club Rd – 3752 Kingston Rd · 160 mMay 2022 · 3 days29,00455 km/h64 km/h69 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.
