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, Oct 6, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 5,657 eastbound vehicles, or 83% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 329. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,365 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 954 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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

The City's counter on Lake Shore Blvd W between Marine Parade Dr and Lake Shore W (179 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 9,300 vehicles a day. Marine Parade Dr between Waterfront Dr and Lake Shore Blvd W measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Apr 2017). The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Marine Parade Dr · Waterfront Dr – Lake Shore Blvd W · 74 mApr 2017 · 24 h87439 km/h46 km/h50 km/h
Lake Shore Blvd W · Marine Parade Dr – Lake Shore W · 179 mSep 2010 · 24 h9,28146 km/h57 km/h62 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.
