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, Apr 6, 2017

The north leg carries the load — 9,565 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 150. Morning rush is the busier period: 2,851 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:30 a.m., compared with 2,571 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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

The City's counter on Avenue Rd between Elwood Blvd and Kelway Blvd (231 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 29,400 vehicles a day. Burnaby Blvd between Avenue Rd and Lane W of Avenue and S of Burnaby measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Jan 2015).

Avenue Rd · Elwood Blvd – Kelway Blvd · 231 mMay 2025 · 3 days29,37140 km/h48 km/h52 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

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 three thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.
