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 18, 2025 (a weekend day)

The east leg carries the load — 4,340 westbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 746. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 957 vehicles in the hour from 5:45 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (776). Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 St Clair Ave W between Crang Ave and Appleton Ave (321 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 11,500 vehicles a day. Northcliffe Blvd between Clovis John Brooks Lane and Rosemount Ave measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Apr 2018). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on St. Clair Avenue West (320 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 52,006 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Northcliffe Boulevard between St Clair Ave W and Cloverlawn Ave (installed 2000), and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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
