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 — 8-hour, Oct 21, 2014

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The north leg carries the load — 1,298 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 148. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 392 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (358). Trucks and buses were 8.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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.

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 Guildwood Pkwy between Scarcliff Gdns and Morna Ave (265 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 3,800 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Guildwood Pkwy · Scarcliff Gdns – Morna Ave · 265 mMar 2023 · 3 days3,83045 km/h52 km/h58 km/h
Morningside Ave · Cumber Ave – Pixley Cres · 378 mSep 2022 · 7 days6,893

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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 17, 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.
