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, Dec 11, 2024

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 1,964 vehicles entering from the east to 2,402 from the south. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 907 vehicles in the hour from 3:30 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (835). Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 21 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 Sewells Rd between Walkway N of McLevin and W of Sewells and Hupfield Trl (343 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 5,200 vehicles a day. McLevin Ave between Pennyhill Dr and Sewells Rd measured slower: 48 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 55 km/h (Apr 2025).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
McLevin Ave · Pennyhill Dr – Sewells Rd · 159 mApr 2025 · 3 days5,61648 km/h55 km/h60 km/h
Sewells Rd · Walkway N of McLevin and W of Sewells – Hupfield Trl · 343 mApr 2025 · 3 days5,22350 km/h57 km/h62 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.
