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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Apr 9, 2013

The north leg carries the load — 4,286 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 395. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,566 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,474 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 13 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2013, 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

The City's counter on Pharmacy Ave between Stellarton Rd and Clairlea Cres (385 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 21,500 vehicles a day. Leahurst Dr between Fairbourne Cres and Faulkland Rd measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (May 2006). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Leahurst Dr · Fairbourne Cres – Faulkland Rd · 163 mMay 2006 · 24 h42738 km/h47 km/h50 km/h
Pharmacy Ave · Stellarton Rd – Clairlea Cres · 385 mNov 2022 · 24 h21,49351 km/h59 km/h65 km/h

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

Nothing 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 (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Mar 4, 2026. 1 older KSI collision is on file from before 2016.
