Cyclists were 10.9% of vehicle volume, about 14× the typical share. That comes with about 1.1 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — well below the median of 31 for the decade. None of them involved a death or serious injury.

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, Sep 26, 2017

The north leg carries the load — 344 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1. Most cyclists arrived from the north (34 of 81). Morning rush is the busier period: 163 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 94 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 10.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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 Coleman Ave between Coleman Park Trl and Lane W of Dawes and N of Coleman (180 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2001; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. Barrington Ave between Balfour Ave and Doncaster Ave measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (May 2012). The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Palmer St. (254 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 17,603 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Coleman Avenue between Dawes Rd and Barrington Ave (installed 2007).

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

The pace has been steady at around 1.8 a year. 63% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages; 50% of the bike thefts were from transit property.
