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, Jun 25, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 13,819 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 6,322 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,572 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,386 from 3:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 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 Avenue Rd between Pears Ave and Chicora Ave, 145 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2025 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 26,800 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dupont St · Avenue Rd – Lane W of Avenue and N of Dupont · 24 mApr 2010 · 3 days21,032
Avenue Rd · Pears Ave – Chicora Ave · 145 mJun 2025 · 3 days26,83939 km/h49 km/h58 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

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

Three thefts from vehicles and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.
