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, Oct 18, 2025 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 5,426 eastbound vehicles, or 30% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,899. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,600 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,386). Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% 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.

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 most recent midblock count on Vaughan Rd between St Clair Ave W and Theo Aben Lane (27 m away, Dec 2011) recorded volume only — about 5,645 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Vaughan Rd · St Clair Ave W – Theo Aben Lane · 27 mDec 2011 · 3 days5,645
St Clair Ave W · Raglan Ave – Vaughan Rd · 30 mMay 2011 · 3 days8,576

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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 28 collisions. 8% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 36 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

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 May 20, 2008.

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 ten thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 1.1 a year before that. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 14, 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.
