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, Jun 18, 2019

The west leg carries the load — 856 eastbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 439. Most cyclists arrived from the north (47 of 87). Morning rush is the busier period: 470 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 337 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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 Windermere Ave between Colbeck St and Ardagh St (162 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. Colbeck St between Runnymede Rd and Beresford Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Mar 2025). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Runnymede Rd (354 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.0% of the 50,493 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Windermere Avenue between Ardagh St and Colbeck St (installed 2025).

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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

Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
