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, Jun 13, 2014

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,135 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 416 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (652 of 1,403). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,222 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 12% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (1,095). Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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 Albany Ave between Seaton Park Trl and Barton Ave, 199 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2013 put the average speed at 26 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. Lippincott St between Lennox St and Bloor St W measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Apr 2025). The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Borden St (331 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.1% of the 16,108 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 cyclists were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. 2016 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Nov 1, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on May 23, 2026.
