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, Jun 8, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 5,982 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 306. Most cyclists arrived from the south (37 of 76). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,920 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:30 a.m., compared with 1,654 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 11.7% 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 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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 Hillsdale Ave E between Cleveland St and Bayview Ave (148 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Cheston Rd (277 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 8,050 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Hillsdale Avenue East between Cleveland St and Bayview Ave.

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
