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, Apr 23, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 14,206 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 27 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (89 of 180). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,699 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 19% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (2,262). Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 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 St Dennis Dr between Don Mills Rd and David Salomon Dr, 155 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,600 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Don Mills Rd · Gateway Blvd – St Dennis Dr · 0 mMay 2010 · 3 days1,254
St Dennis Dr · Don Mills Rd – David Salomon Dr · 155 mApr 2025 · 3 days4,56839 km/h47 km/h52 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 14, 2013.

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
