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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, May 29, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 13,638 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 3,045 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,915 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,064 from 3:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Bathurst St between Lytton Blvd and Hillmount Ave, 149 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 33,100 vehicles a day. Glencairn Ave between Forest Wood and Bathurst St measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Jun 2017).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Glencairn Ave · Forest Wood – Bathurst St · 85 mJun 2017 · 24 h5,13338 km/h45 km/h50 km/h
Bathurst St · Lytton Blvd – Hillmount Ave · 149 mApr 2024 · 3 days33,10144 km/h54 km/h62 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.

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 May 23, 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
