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, Sep 20, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 11,140 southbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 226. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,024 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,001 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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 counter on Paget Rd between Victoria Park Ave and Waringstown Dr (49 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Paget Rd · Victoria Park Ave – Waringstown Dr · 49 mOct 2023 · 3 days1,07634 km/h42 km/h45 km/h
Victoria Park Ave · Pachino Blvd – Walkway W of Victoria Park and S of York Mills · 273 mDec 2013 · 3 days19,259

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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 13, 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.

Thefts reported at this corner
