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 — 14-hour, Feb 25, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 5,429 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 15. Most cyclists arrived from the west (625 of 1,358). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,151 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:30 a.m., compared with 1,008 from 5:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 18 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 Manning Ave between College St and Morley Safer Lane (60 m away) recorded an average of 27 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 1,700 vehicles a day. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Manning Avenue between Dundas St W and College St, 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Nov 27, 2014.

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

Toronto Police place nine thefts from vehicles and nine bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 2.0 a year before that. 78% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 44% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
