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, Nov 9, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 5,701 eastbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,254. Most cyclists arrived from the west (36 of 75). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 932 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 32% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (705). Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, 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 Spadina Rd between Austin Ter and Castle View Ave (206 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 14,700 vehicles a day. Davenport Rd between Macpherson Ave and Glen Edyth Dr measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Mar 2026). The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Spadina Rd · Austin Ter – Castle View Ave · 206 mNov 2004 · 3 days14,68740 km/h45 km/h49 km/h
Davenport Rd · Macpherson Ave – Glen Edyth Dr · 294 mMar 2026 · 3 days11,24439 km/h44 km/h49 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 Jun 19, 2011.

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
