Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

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, Apr 13, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 6,140 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 372. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,967 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,688). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Port Union Rd between Tilley Dr and Lawson Rd (324 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 24-hour count in July 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 62 km/h. That segment carries about 16,600 vehicles a day. Rozell Rd between Andona Cres and Port Union Rd measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Oct 2012). The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Rozell Rd · Andona Cres – Port Union Rd · 67 mOct 2012 · 24 h64827 km/h35 km/h39 km/h
Port Union Rd · Tilley Dr – Lawson Rd · 324 mJul 2013 · 24 h16,64852 km/h62 km/h67 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

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.
