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 — 14-hour, May 26, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 15,447 southbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 4,370. Most cyclists arrived from the east (352 of 838). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,283 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,356 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Yonge St between Tolman St and Finch Ave W (268 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 64 km/h. That segment carries about 19,800 vehicles a day. Hendon Ave between Eldora Ave and Kensington Ave measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Oct 2024). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Hendon Ave · Eldora Ave – Kensington Ave · 383 mOct 2024 · 3 days6,02641 km/h47 km/h51 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Aug 28, 2007.

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 53 thefts from vehicles and 59 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 19× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 11.2 a year. 85% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 59% of the bike thefts were from transit property.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
