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 — 14-hour, Oct 19, 2024 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,179 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 1,499 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (80 of 184). Evening rush dominates here: 2,152 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 1,589 in the morning peak from 9:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months 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 Birchmount Rd between Bonis Ave and Ron Watson Park Trl, 110 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,300 vehicles a day. Bay Mills Blvd between Eaglestone Rd and Birchmount Rd measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Oct 2019). At the school-zone speed sign on Bay Mills Blvd (104 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.6% of the 70,670 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.

All police-reported collisions

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Feb 5, 2026. 2 older KSI collisions are on file from before 2016.
