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, May 1, 2007

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,766 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 61% of the total, against 2,362 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,282 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,081 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Bayview Ave between Lawren Harris Sq and Corktown Common Trl (Id: 30060870), 372 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2026 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,000 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bayview Ave · Lawren Harris Sq – Corktown Common Trl (Id: 30060870) · 372 mAug 2026 · 3 days2,96136 km/h44 km/h48 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.

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

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025, though 1 has been reported since January 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 17, 2026. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Moss Park.
