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 18, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 6,820 southbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 4,260. Most cyclists arrived from the north (68 of 160). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,580 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 33% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,189). Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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

The City's counter on St Clair Ave W between Commerce Trl and Scarlett Rd (154 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 21,300 vehicles a day. Scarlett Rd between Bernice Cres and Eileen Ave measured slower: 45 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Aug 2022).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
St Clair Ave W · Commerce Trl – Scarlett Rd · 154 mNov 2024 · 24 h21,28849 km/h58 km/h63 km/h
Scarlett Rd · Bernice Cres – Eileen Ave · 164 mAug 2022 · 3 days13,28045 km/h52 km/h57 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Aug 18, 2008.

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
