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 24, 2024 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 7,389 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 4,723 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,466 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:30 p.m., against 1,397 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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
On Midland Ave between Progress Ave and Hwy 401 Collectors W, 231 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2017 put the average speed at 59 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Progress Ave · Midland Ave – Cosentino Dr · 124 m | Mar 2015 · 3 days | 8,489 | — | — | — |
| Midland Ave · Progress Ave – Hwy 401 Collectors W · 231 m | Oct 2017 · 24 h | 20,747 | 59 km/h | 68 km/h | 74 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
The worst year was 2019, with 50 collisions; 2025 recorded 27. 56 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 35 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 20 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 15, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. The most recent was on May 10, 2023.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 2 | #393 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |

| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest May 10, 2023 |
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

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 17, 2025. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
