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 26, 2025 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,486 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 321 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,100 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 757 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 most recent midblock count on Neilson Rd between Gatineau Hydro Corridor Trl and Military Trl (253 m away, Nov 2018) recorded volume only — about 8,213 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Neilson Rd · Gatineau Hydro Corridor Trl – Military Trl · 253 mNov 2018 · 7 days8,213

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 2016, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 12 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.

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.

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.
