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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 22, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 11,547 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 34% of the total, against 5,193 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (82 of 176). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,941 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,098 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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

On Scarborough Golf Club Rd between Lawrence Ave E and Par Ave, 142 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2025 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 51 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 66 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,400 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Holmfirth Ter (215 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.9% of the 34,401 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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

Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. All of them involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrians or cyclists. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jun 22, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 5. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places one of them just outside the 65 m radius.
