Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 1,090 vehicles, about the citywide median. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 27 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). Police have logged an average of 7.8 collisions a year here over 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. Collisions rose 36%, from 33 in 2016–2020 to 45 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 78 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 — 8-hour, Feb 15, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,755 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 745 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,439 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,313 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.3% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Generation Blvd between 95 Generation Blvd and 115 Generation Blvd, 396 m from the corner, a 2-day count in October 2019 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. Dean Park Rd between Braymore Blvd and Red River Cres measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Nov 2023). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Dean Park Rd (224 m away, 30 km/h limit), 3.8% of the 125,374 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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.
