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, May 10, 2012

The north leg carries the load — 10,499 southbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 158. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,389 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (3,088). Trucks and buses were 7.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 14 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, 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.

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 Gaydon Ave between Weston Rd and Strathburn Blvd (181 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 1,700 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Weston Rd · Lilac Ave – Flindon Rd · 17 mNov 2011 · 3 days17,695
Gaydon Ave · Weston Rd – Strathburn Blvd · 181 mNov 2025 · 3 days1,70140 km/h48 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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.
