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 12, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 4,131 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 624 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (61 of 118). Evening rush dominates here: 830 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 665 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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

On Castleton Ave between Lane N of St Clair and E of Mould and Liverpool St, 194 m from the corner, a 2-day count in July 2014 put the average speed at 36 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 1,800 vehicles a day. Pritchard Ave between Lane N of St Clair and E of Batavia and Batavia Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 36 km/h (May 2025). The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Rockcliffe Blvd (324 m away, 30 km/h limit), 27% of the 88,037 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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.
