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 — 8-hour, Jun 8, 2015

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,526 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 1,556 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,438 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 18% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (1,223). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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 Chaplin Cres between Beltline Trl and Roselawn Ave, 72 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2015 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,000 vehicles a day. Roselawn Ave between Chaplin Cres and Bathurst St measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Aug 2014). The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Chaplin Cres (351 m away, 30 km/h limit), 29% of the 58,719 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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