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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 10, 2022

The east leg carries the load — 2,155 westbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 342. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 785 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 837 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

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 McRae Dr between Field Ave and Trace Manes Park Trl (140 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 6,800 vehicles a day. Rumsey Rd between Trace Manes Park Trl and McRae Dr measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Oct 2009). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Bessborough Dr (270 m away, 30 km/h limit), 3.9% of the 26,504 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
