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, Nov 22, 2025 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 2,070 eastbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 704. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 618 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (447). Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.3%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Trudelle St between Trudelle Park Trl and McCowan Rd (119 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 4,500 vehicles a day. McCowan Rd between Blue Lagoon Crt and Fred Bland Cres measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Oct 2019).

Trudelle St · Trudelle Park Trl – McCowan Rd · 119 mMar 2023 · 3 days4,50340 km/h48 km/h52 km/h
McCowan Rd · Blue Lagoon Crt – Fred Bland Cres · 189 mOct 2019 · 3 days1,26338 km/h47 km/h53 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.

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
