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)

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,738 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 28% of the total, against 4,461 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,296 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 1,514 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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.

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 most recent midblock count on Brimley Rd between Boyce Ave and Danforth Rd (36 m away, Nov 2013) recorded volume only — about 7,020 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Brimley Rd · Boyce Ave – Danforth Rd · 36 mNov 2013 · 3 days7,020
Danforth Rd · Horton Blvd – Eglinton Ave E · 162 mMay 2017 · 3 days8,996

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 May 13, 2015.

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
