Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 2,330 vehicles, 2.0× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 225 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 3 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions edged up 14%, from 14 in 2016–2020 to 16 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 30 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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 — 8-hour, Dec 10, 2022 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 9,437 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 404 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,853 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,640 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% 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 Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 Rossdean Dr between Garyray Dr and Steeles Ave W (146 m away, Jun 2016) recorded volume only — about 5,784 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Rossdean Dr · Garyray Dr – Steeles Ave W · 146 mJun 2016 · 3 days5,784
Steeles Ave W · Signet Dr – Weston Rd · 360 mMar 2016 · 10 days18,443

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.
