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, Nov 10, 2024 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,812 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 727 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,187 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 1,547 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 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

On St Clair Ave E between Denvale Rd and Marilyn Cres, 378 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,500 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
O'Connor Dr · Sandra Rd – St Clair Ave E · 63 mOct 2014 · 7 days18,737
St Clair Ave E · Denvale Rd – Marilyn Cres · 378 mMay 2026 · 3 days3,51836 km/h43 km/h48 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

The worst year was 2023, with 39 collisions; 2025 recorded 24. 27 collisions (9%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 32 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 12 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 15, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 9, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 2. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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.
