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, Oct 30, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 11,049 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 3,118 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,541 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,637 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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

On Mount Pleasant Rd between Sherwood Ave and Sheldrake Blvd, 286 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2014 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,800 vehicles a day. Blythwood Rd between Mount Pleasant Rd and Sherwood Park Trl measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Apr 2026). The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Blythwood Rd · Mount Pleasant Rd – Sherwood Park Trl · 182 mApr 2026 · 3 days9,41542 km/h49 km/h54 km/h
Mount Pleasant Rd · Sherwood Ave – Sheldrake Blvd · 286 mMay 2014 · 3 days11,78946 km/h54 km/h59 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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jan 18, 2007.

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.
