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 — 8-hour, Mar 6, 2017

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,979 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 56% of the total, against 212 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,218 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,184 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.6% 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. The count is 10 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

On Weston Rd between Birdstone Cres and Gunns Rd, 109 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2024 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 56 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 33,200 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Weston Rd · Birdstone Cres – Gunns Rd · 109 mNov 2024 · 3 days33,23146 km/h56 km/h62 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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
