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, May 5, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,496 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 885 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,725 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 1,119 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On The West Mall between Waulron St and Paxman Rd, 388 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2023 put the average speed at 74 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 79 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 126 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,900 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
The West Mall · Waulron St – Paxman Rd · 388 mSep 2023 · 3 days13,85674 km/h79 km/h126 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

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. 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.
