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 29, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 8,583 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 5,909. Most cyclists arrived from the west (34 of 79). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,195 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 64% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,336). Trucks and buses were 9.4% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 most recent midblock count on North Queen St between Shorncliffe Rd and Atomic Ave (85 m away, Sep 2012) recorded volume only — about 13,548 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
North Queen St · Shorncliffe Rd – Atomic Ave · 85 mSep 2012 · 2 days13,548

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.
