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 23, 2024 (a weekend day)

The north leg carries the load — 8,688 southbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,433. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,075 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 67% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,240). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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 22 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 Silver Star Blvd between 70 Silver Star Blvd and Kilcullen Castle Gt (270 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 1,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Midland Ave · 3300 Midland Ave – South Shields Ave · 31 mNov 2012 · 3 days12,896
Silver Star Blvd · 70 Silver Star Blvd – Kilcullen Castle Gt · 270 mMar 2020 · 3 days1,44637 km/h49 km/h57 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Jan 28, 2015.

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.
