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, Jan 29, 2001

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 803 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 2 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 352 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 38% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (256). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 26 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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.

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

On Corley Ave between Brookside Dr and Glenmount Park Rd, 37 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2020 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. Brookside Dr between Burgess Ave and Beachview Cres measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 36 km/h (Mar 2020). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Kingston Rd (168 m away, 40 km/h limit), 11% of the 192,382 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Brookside Drive between Gerrard St E and Corley Ave (installed 2005), and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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

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