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 — 8-hour, Nov 15, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 302 southbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 138. Morning rush is the busier period: 133 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 113 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.9% 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 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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.

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 Parkman Ave between Perth Ave and Perth Square Park Trl (47 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 41 km/h. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. Perth Ave between Antler St and Parkman Ave measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Apr 2012). The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Parkman Avenue between Franklin Ave and Perth Ave.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner
