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, Apr 26, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 284 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 71 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 183 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 73% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (106). Trucks and buses were 6.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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. 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 Maniza Rd between Spalding Rd and Plewes Rd, 50 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2019 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 46 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. Plewes Rd between Maniza Rd and Ancaster Park Trl measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Jun 2023). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Plewes Rd S (78 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.3% of the 7,501 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
