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, Dec 20, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,109 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 238 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,065 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 703 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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

On Eastern Ave between Emdaabiimok Ave and Woodbine Park Trl, 116 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2022 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,100 vehicles a day. Queen St E between Woodbine Park Trl and Northern Dancer Blvd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Jun 2006). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Eastern Ave · Emdaabiimok Ave – Woodbine Park Trl · 116 mAug 2022 · 3 days6,09240 km/h48 km/h51 km/h
Queen St E · Woodbine Park Trl – Northern Dancer Blvd · 288 mJun 2006 · 3 days1,53435 km/h47 km/h59 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

The worst year was 2017, with 13 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 9 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 30% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 19, 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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jun 1, 2009.

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

Three thefts from vehicles and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
