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, Oct 23, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 7,794 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 252. Most cyclists arrived from the west (304 of 560). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,373 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 22% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,125). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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

The City's counter on Bloor St W between Kingscourt Dr and Kingsmill Rd (49 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 17,000 vehicles a day. Kingscourt Dr between Bloor St W and The Kingsway measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Apr 2014).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bloor St W · Kingscourt Dr – Kingsmill Rd · 49 mMay 2026 · 3 days17,03043 km/h49 km/h54 km/h
Kingscourt Dr · Bloor St W – The Kingsway · 106 mApr 2014 · 24 h28139 km/h49 km/h54 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.
