Just one of those 67 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, May 19, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,448 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 408 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,422 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,492 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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.

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 Cocksfield Ave between Hove St and Bryant St, 349 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2004 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bathurst St · Sheppard Ave W – Cocksfield Ave · 75 mMar 2016 · 7 days16,484
Cocksfield Ave · Hove St – Bryant St · 349 mSep 2004 · 24 h73235 km/h44 km/h49 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.
