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, Jan 17, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 353 southbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 161. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 157 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 45% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (108). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% 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.

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 Riverside Dr between Mossom Rd and Brule Gdns (87 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Riverside Dr · Mossom Rd – Brule Gdns · 87 mMar 2025 · 3 days1,33831 km/h39 km/h43 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.
