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 — 8-hour, Mar 8, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,840 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 150 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (121 of 213). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,055 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,001 from 2:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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

On Woodmount Ave between Danforth Ave and Paul Estrela Lane, 24 m from the corner, a 7-day count in April 2018 put the average speed at 27 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. East Lynn Ave between Merrill Ave E and East Lynn Park Trl measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Oct 2017). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Wolverleigh Blvd (202 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 9,529 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 4 speed humps slow traffic on East Lynn Avenue between Danforth Ave and Merrill Ave E.

Traffic calming

  • East Lynn Avenue · Danforth Ave – Merrill Ave E
    4 speed humps

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 Apr 22, 2011.

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

One theft from a vehicle and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 40% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
