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 9, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,766 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 791 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,166 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,967 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Yonge Blvd between Old Orchard Grv and McNairn Ave, 224 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in January 2020 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,600 vehicles a day. Glen Echo Rd between Doncliffe Dr and Bocastle Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Dec 2019). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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
