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, Sep 5, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,868 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 1,366 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (295 of 597). Evening rush dominates here: 1,754 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,471 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Dufferin St between Lane N of Armstrong and W of Dufferin and Millicent St, 174 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,600 vehicles a day. Wallace Ave between Pauline Ave and Brock Ave measured slower: 22 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Apr 2026). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Wallace Avenue between Lansdowne Ave and Dufferin St.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dufferin St · Lane N of Armstrong and W of Dufferin – Millicent St · 174 m | Sep 2021 · 3 days | 20,563 | 46 km/h | 54 km/h | 60 km/h |

Traffic calming
- Wallace Avenue · Lansdowne Ave – Dufferin St
7 speed humps
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
The worst year was 2016, with 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 18 collisions (23%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 22, 2026.

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. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 motorcyclist involved), the latest on May 22, 2026. 1 older KSI collision is on file from before 2016.
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
