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, Apr 2, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,519 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 62 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,950 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,677 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 10.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Dixon Rd between Westona St and Kentroyal Dr, 130 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2021 put the average speed at 57 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,900 vehicles a day. Scarlett Rd between Lockheed Blvd and Braeburn Ave measured slower: 52 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 60 km/h (Jul 2025). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Riverview Heights between Inchcliffe Cres and Dixon Rd.

Traffic calming

    3 speed humps

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 27, 2012.

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.
