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, Oct 22, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,779 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 1,049 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (88 of 218). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,598 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,596 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.6% 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 23 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 Lawrence Ave E between Florist Lane and Morningside Ave, 375 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2023 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 51 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 56 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,300 vehicles a day. Collinsgrove Rd between Lawrence Ave E and 25 Collinsgrove Rd measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Oct 2017).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Collinsgrove Rd · Lawrence Ave E – 25 Collinsgrove Rd · 73 mOct 2017 · 24 h3,32429 km/h46 km/h52 km/h
Lawrence Ave E · Florist Lane – Morningside Ave · 375 mOct 2023 · 3 days19,25540 km/h51 km/h56 km/h

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 Aug 15, 2013.

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.
