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, Oct 3, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,249 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 60% of the total, against 1,643 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the north (41 of 86). Evening rush dominates here: 1,637 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 944 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Jameson Ave between Springhurst Ave and King St W, 258 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2022 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Jameson Ave (276 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 38,849 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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

Of the five serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt; 3 collisions involved vehicle occupants only. 3 of the 5 happened in darkness — 60%, above the citywide 39%. 2016 alone accounted for 2 of them. The last one inside the window was in 2025. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here, the latest on Aug 28, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 9. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places one of them just outside the 65 m radius.

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.
