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, Dec 10, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 12,295 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 60% of the total, against 261 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,824 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 11% above the afternoon peak from 4:45 p.m. (1,639). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Ridout St between Indian Grv and Parkside Dr, 59 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2024 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Ward 4 - S9 (31 m away, 40 km/h limit), 21% of the 76,091 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Ridout Street between Parkside Dr and Indian Rd (installed 2025).

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
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.
