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 23, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 7,788 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 504. Most cyclists arrived from the north (149 of 303). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,457 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,281). Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 23 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

The City's counter on Royal York Rd between Thompson Ave and Glenroy Ave (132 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 7,100 vehicles a day. Leland Ave between Sevenoaks Ave and Allan Park Rd measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Apr 2026). The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Royal York Rd · Thompson Ave – Glenroy Ave · 132 mMar 2006 · 3 days7,06140 km/h52 km/h64 km/h
Leland Ave · Sevenoaks Ave – Allan Park Rd · 221 mApr 2026 · 3 days90330 km/h38 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.
