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, Nov 29, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 13,926 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 2,560 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,506 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,146 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% 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. 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 Victoria Park Ave between Ivordale Cres and Combermere Dr, 177 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in February 2005 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 71 km/h or more. That segment carries about 36,600 vehicles a day. Cassandra Blvd between Cassandra Park Trl and Welsford Gdns measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Mar 2010). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Victoria Park Ave · Ivordale Cres – Combermere Dr · 177 mFeb 2005 · 24 h36,59850 km/h64 km/h71 km/h
Cassandra Blvd · Cassandra Park Trl – Welsford Gdns · 310 mMar 2010 · 24 h5,73243 km/h49 km/h54 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. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Dec 26, 2008.

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.
