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 20, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,773 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 359 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (63 of 105). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,270 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,247 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Bloor St W between Cosmo Rd and Tom Riley Park Trl, 261 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,700 vehicles a day. Thompson Ave between Lane S of Bloor and W of Brentwood and Meadowvale Dr measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Mar 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Montgomery Rd (242 m away, 40 km/h limit), 7.0% of the 53,884 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

Thefts reported at this corner
