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, Oct 17, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 11,746 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 577 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (46 of 64). Evening rush dominates here: 2,274 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,099 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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

On Morningside Ave between Walkway 2 N of McLevin and W of Morningside and Morningview Trl, 314 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2023 put the average speed at 61 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 70 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 77 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,600 vehicles a day. John Stoner Dr between Shawn Blu Rose Park Trl and Fawcett Trl measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Oct 2023). At the school-zone speed sign on Fawcett Trl (194 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 23,752 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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
