The latest City count averages about 110 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 9% of the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 6 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 3.1% of vehicle volume, about 4.0× the typical share. That comes with about 3.5 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions fell 48%, from 23 in 2016–2020 to 12 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 35 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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 — 8-hour, Oct 27, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 630 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 72% of the total, against 2 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 191 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 12% above the afternoon peak from 4:45 p.m. (170). Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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

On Oriole Pkwy between Walmsley Blvd and Duggan Ave, 153 m from the corner, a 7-day count in October 2022 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,100 vehicles a day. Oriole Rd between Oriole Gdns and Oriole Pkwy measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Aug 2025). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Avenue Rd (157 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 4,349 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Lonsdale Road between Oriole Pkwy and Lawton Blvd.

    5 speed humps

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.
