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 — 14-hour, Nov 30, 2023

The east leg carries the load — 4,903 westbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 961. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,978 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 63% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,211). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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

The City's most recent midblock count on Progress Ave between Corporate Dr and McCowan Rd S (115 m away, Mar 2015) recorded volume only — about 18,488 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Progress Ave · Corporate Dr – McCowan Rd S · 115 mMar 2015 · 3 days18,488

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

2018 was the peak year (237 collisions), and 2025 closed with 199. 4% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 801 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 47% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 75 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window.

Killed or seriously injured

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 2, 2007.

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

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

Toronto Police place 144 thefts from vehicles and 17 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 27× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 7 more have been reported, the latest on Apr 16, 2026.
