Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 24, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 39,033 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 61% of the total, against 11,197 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the west (157 of 295). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 6,294 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 5,847 from 6:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 6,294 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 5,847 from 6:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2019, with 85 collisions; 2025 recorded 51. 70 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 74 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 32 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 18, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here, the latest on May 11, 2026. 1 older KSI collision is on file from before 2016.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's most recent midblock count on Parkside Dr between Lake Shore Blvd W and Gardiner Expy E (26 m away, Nov 2022) recorded volume only — about 21,986 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Ward 4 - S10 (385 m away, 40 km/h limit), 29% of the 79,971 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

Speed sign

Ward 4 - S10 (southbound), 385 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 45 km/h, 85th percentile 54 km/h; 29% at 50 km/h or more. 79,971 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Within a kilometre there are seven RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 276 rental units. The nearest is 1 Claude Ave (364 m, 30 units, 3 storeys, built 1960), which scored 97 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

7 registered buildings · 276 units · tallest 8 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Ten thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 1.6 a year before that. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 29, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see South Parkdale.
