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, Oct 18, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 5,367 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,197. Most cyclists arrived from the west (206 of 437). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 964 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (875). 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 Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 most recent midblock count on Earlscourt Ave between Ascot Ave and Lane N of Ascot and W of Earlscourt (275 m away, Nov 2007) recorded volume only — about 1,595 vehicles a day — with no speed data. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Earlscourt Avenue between Ascot Ave and St Clair Ave W, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

Traffic calming

    2 speed humps
  • Earlscourt Avenue · St Clair Ave W – Morrison Ave
    7 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. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Jun 8, 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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

Toronto Police place eight thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 0.9 a year before that. 75% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 12, 2026.
