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, Jun 24, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,070 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 632 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (453 of 930). Evening rush dominates here: 1,464 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:45 p.m., against 1,199 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 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

On Thyra Ave between Sutherland Ave and Dentonia Park Ave, 188 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2004 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 46 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. Danforth Ave between Sibley Ave and Eldon Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2025). The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Thyra Avenue between Danforth Ave and Dentonia Park Ave (installed 2006).

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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

Five thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
