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, Feb 3, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 2,898 southbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 144. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 669 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 722 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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 counter on Staines Rd between Twinflower Crt and Cricket Mews (41 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 7,100 vehicles a day.

Staines Rd · Twinflower Crt – Cricket Mews · 41 mMar 2025 · 3 days7,12136 km/h43 km/h47 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 Nov 1, 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.
