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, Dec 11, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,632 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 879 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 464 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 471 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 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 The Donway W between Burdock Lane and Southill Dr, 85 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,200 vehicles a day. Southill Dr between Cottonwood Dr and The Donway W measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Mar 2020).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
The Donway W · Burdock Lane – Southill Dr · 85 mMay 2026 · 3 days4,23740 km/h47 km/h50 km/h
Southill Dr · Cottonwood Dr – The Donway W · 104 mMar 2020 · 2 days2,22236 km/h42 km/h45 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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
