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 — 8-hour, Oct 6, 2020

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,524 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 100 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 575 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 484 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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

On Ruscica Dr between Sweetbriar Crt and Sloane Ave, 94 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2006 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 200 vehicles a day. Sloane Ave between Draycott Dr and Wigmore Dr measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (May 2019). The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Sweeney Dr (344 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 6,491 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025, though 1 has been reported since January 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 15, 2026. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Victoria Village.
