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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 15, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 310 southbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 149. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 121 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 122 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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

The City's counter on Courcelette Rd between Queen St E and Windsor Ave (151 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in December 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. Windsor Ave between Victoria Park Ave and Blantyre Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Dec 2024).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Courcelette Rd · Queen St E – Windsor Ave · 151 mDec 2024 · 3 days60331 km/h39 km/h44 km/h
Windsor Ave · Victoria Park Ave – Blantyre Ave · 168 mDec 2024 · 3 days76628 km/h34 km/h38 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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.
