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, Feb 28, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 5,879 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 278. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,011 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,893 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 Shallmar Blvd between Shallmar Parkette Trl and Bathurst St (98 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 5-day count in November 2003; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Shallmar Boulevard between Bathurst St and Mayfair Ave (installed 2005).

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 Oct 20, 2013.

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

Toronto Police place 17 thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 2.6 a year before that. 59% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 80% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
