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 — 14-hour, Mar 19, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 963 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 120 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (40 of 95). Evening rush dominates here: 319 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 272 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Laughton Ave between Wadsworth Park Trl and Rutland St, 139 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2023 put the average speed at 24 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 30 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 34 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. Hounslow Heath Rd between Spring Grove Ave and St Clair Ave W measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 30 km/h (Sep 2023). At the school-zone speed sign on Osler St (299 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 3,783 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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
