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, Apr 8, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 7,324 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 520. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,609 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,578 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Willowdale Ave between Newtonbrook Park Trl and Derwent Crt (333 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 14,500 vehicles a day. Wedgewood Dr between Tobruk Cres and Willowdale Ave measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Apr 2023).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Wedgewood Dr · Tobruk Cres – Willowdale Ave · 134 mApr 2023 · 3 days1,53443 km/h52 km/h58 km/h
Willowdale Ave · Newtonbrook Park Trl – Derwent Crt · 333 mJul 2023 · 3 days14,46546 km/h53 km/h58 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.
