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, Jun 9, 2008

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,637 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 1,134 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (197 of 481). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 643 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m., 15% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (558). Trucks and buses were 11.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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

On Baldwin St between Beverley St and Huron St, 296 m from the corner, a 2-day count in October 2019 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 38 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on St. Patrick St (323 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 35,769 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

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

70 thefts from vehicles and 24 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 16× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
