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, Nov 2, 2024 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 8,574 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 729. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,594 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 46% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,090). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 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 Danforth Rd between Furlong Crt and McCowan Rd (223 m away) recorded an average of 65 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 73 km/h. That segment carries about 16,400 vehicles a day. Barrymore Rd between Huntchester Cres and Kilbride Rd measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Sep 2011).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Danforth Rd · Furlong Crt – McCowan Rd · 223 mMay 2023 · 3 days16,35265 km/h73 km/h79 km/h
Barrymore Rd · Huntchester Cres – Kilbride Rd · 335 mSep 2011 · 24 h1,10743 km/h52 km/h58 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Nov 22, 2015. 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Bendale South.
