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 — 14-hour, Apr 1, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 799 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 153 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 198 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 22% above the afternoon peak from 5:15 p.m. (162). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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

On Wychwood Ave between Maplewood Ave and Valewood Ave, 74 m from the corner, a 5-day count in December 2009 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. Maplewood Ave between Humewood Dr and Cherrywood Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Oct 2017). The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Vaughan Rd (356 m away, 30 km/h limit), 40% of the 126,771 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Wychwood Avenue between Maplewood Ave and Vaughan Rd.

Traffic calming

    3 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.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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