Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 3,100 vehicles, 2.7× the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 29 vehicles, well below the typical one per 13. That comes with about 41 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 9.5 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.92× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 15%, from 224 in 2016–2020 to 190 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 414 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Dec 11, 2024

The south leg carries the load — 16,640 northbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 5,050. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,570 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,848 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 21 months 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

The City's counter on Markham Rd between Ormerod St and Verne Cres (385 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 44,700 vehicles a day. Nugget Ave between Transfer Pl and Markham Rd measured slower: 48 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 55 km/h (Apr 2026).

Markham Rd · Ormerod St – Verne Cres · 385 mJun 2026 · 3 days44,66345 km/h57 km/h63 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

2017 was the peak year (57 collisions), and 2025 closed with 47. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 49 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

Killed or seriously injured

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

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 4, 2017. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.
