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, Aug 19, 1996

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,974 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 239 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (59 of 111). Evening rush dominates here: 2,250 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,083 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 30 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1996, 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 most recent midblock count on Bathurst St between Bedford Park Ave and Woburn Ave (53 m away, Mar 2021) recorded volume only — about 16,946 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bathurst St · Bedford Park Ave – Woburn Ave · 53 mMar 2021 · 3 days16,946

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 Jun 19, 2014.

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.
