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, Nov 2, 2024 (a weekend day)

The south leg carries the load — 9,388 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,033. Most cyclists arrived from the north (32 of 72). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,886 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 46% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,295). Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 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 Brimley Rd between Pitfield Rd and Walkway S of Sheppard and W of Brimley (121 m away) recorded an average of 58 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 68 km/h. That segment carries about 22,900 vehicles a day. Pitfield Rd between Garden Park Ave and McDairmid Rd measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Jun 2024). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Brimley Rd (98 m away, 50 km/h limit), 5.4% of the 140,662 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Dec 8, 2009.

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.
