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 — 8-hour, Dec 14, 2022

The south leg carries the load — 8,571 northbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 606. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,560 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,184). Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

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 Glencairn Ave and Glengrove Ave W (70 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 25,400 vehicles a day. Glencairn Ave between Heather St and Rosewell Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Mar 2023). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Broadway Ave (288 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.9% of the 234,197 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 22, 2010.

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 four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
