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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 18, 2025 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 5,362 eastbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 511. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,158 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (988). Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 Arlington Ave between Normanna Ave and Maplewood Ave (376 m away) recorded an average of 27 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Arlington Avenue between St Clair Ave W and Humewood Gdns, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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 Mar 20, 2015.

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 three thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 50% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
