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, Jul 25, 2026 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,519 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 443 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,189 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 955 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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
On Ulster St between Wayne and Shuster Lane and Palmerston Blvd, 179 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2025 put the average speed at 24 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 32 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 35 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Lippincott St (169 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 23,363 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ulster St · Wayne and Shuster Lane – Palmerston Blvd · 179 m | Oct 2025 · 3 days | 2,270 | 24 km/h | 32 km/h | 35 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 169 m
Lippincott St (southbound), Opp 151, Lippincott Street · 23,363 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on May 2, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.

| Involving a motorcyclist | 1 | |

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
