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 — 14-hour, Oct 16, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 6,444 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 840. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,349 of 2,630). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,083 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (967). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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

The City's counter on Danforth Ave between Playter Blvd and Bowden St (107 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 7-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 16,000 vehicles a day. Jackman Ave between Walkway N of Danforth and E of Jackman and Playter Cres measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Nov 2022).

Danforth Ave · Playter Blvd – Bowden St · 107 mApr 2025 · 7 days16,03328 km/h38 km/h44 km/h
Jackman Ave · Walkway N of Danforth and E of Jackman – Playter Cres · 133 mNov 2022 · 3 days99626 km/h33 km/h35 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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