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, Nov 16, 2024 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,385 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 5,025 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the south (423 of 837). Evening rush dominates here: 2,178 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,934 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% 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 Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 months 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

On Bayview Ave between Bayview S and Rosedale Valley Rd, 24 m from the corner, a 2-day count in August 2017 put the average speed at 67 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 74 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 80 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bayview Ave · Bayview S – Rosedale Valley Rd · 24 mAug 2017 · 2 days18,50467 km/h74 km/h80 km/h
Rosedale Valley Rd · Bayview S – Bayview Ave · 27 mMay 2013 · 3 days13,329

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.

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

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 21, 2015. 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Cabbagetown-South St.James Town.
