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 26, 2026

Trucks and buses were 24.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Commissioners St between Munition St and Don Roadway, 296 m from the corner, a 3-day count in February 2026 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 56 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,800 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Commissioners St · Munition St – Don Roadway · 296 mFeb 2026 · 3 days4,84748 km/h56 km/h63 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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jan 24, 2009.

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.
