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, Oct 26, 2025 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,783 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 63 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (77 of 170). Evening rush dominates here: 950 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 507 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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 Pharmacy Ave between Denton Ave and Newport Ave, 287 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2024 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 51 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 56 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,800 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Pharmacy Ave (264 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.4% of the 158,233 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pharmacy Ave · Denton Ave – Newport Ave · 287 m | Sep 2024 · 3 days | 9,816 | 42 km/h | 51 km/h | 56 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 264 m
Pharmacy Ave (southbound), 70 Pharmacy Avenue · 158,233 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2024, with 11 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 10 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 20 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 36% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 7 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (13%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 22, 2026.

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, the latest on Jul 26, 2026. 1 older KSI collision is on file from before 2016.

| Since January 2026 (outside the window) | 1 | latest Jul 26, 2026 |

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
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
57 thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 9.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jan 19, 2026.
