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 13, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 4,293 westbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 68. Most cyclists arrived from the west (58 of 105). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 725 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 740 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Birmingham St between Fifteenth St and Sixteenth St (225 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 9,100 vehicles a day. Thirteenth St between Jackson Rd and Lake Shore Blvd W measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Mar 2011).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Birmingham St · Fifteenth St – Sixteenth St · 225 mApr 2026 · 3 days9,14346 km/h53 km/h58 km/h
Thirteenth St · Jackson Rd – Lake Shore Blvd W · 361 mMar 2011 · 24 h1,73931 km/h42 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.

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.
