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, Feb 28, 2024

The north leg carries the load — 14,567 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 2. Most cyclists arrived from the north (44 of 99). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,383 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,501 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years 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

The City's counter on Avenue Rd between Balmoral Ave and Foxbar Rd (251 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 19,000 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Avenue Rd · Balmoral Ave – Foxbar Rd · 251 mJun 2023 · 7 days18,95543 km/h58 km/h68 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

2016 was the peak year (11 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jul 14, 2011.

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
