Around the corner
Food premises, public washrooms, child care and emergency services — distances are straight-line from the node

Every establishment Toronto Public Health inspects under DineSafe, screened by name to leave out kitchens inside schools, care homes and offices. A conditional pass means infractions had to be fixed by a follow-up visit, not that the premises is closed.

Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 Royalavon Cres · Surface | 1.8 km | 59 | 38% (Q1 2026) |
Nearest lots: 62 m away, ≈82 spaces; 80 m away, ≈66 spaces; 159 m away, ≈45 spaces; 191 m away, ≈61 spaces; 631 m away, ≈7 spaces; 634 m away, ≈36 spaces.
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, Sep 24, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 10,685 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 4,078 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 3,069 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,598 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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 Rathburn Rd between Lloyd Manor Rd and Shadowbrook Dr, 323 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,100 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Kipling Ave (82 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.8% of the 46,951 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

School-zone speed sign 82 m
Kipling Ave (northbound), 1239/1241 Kipling Ave · 46,951 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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 8, 2014.
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.
