That comes with about 19 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 6.6 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.34× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 17%, from 106 in 2016–2020 to 88 in 2021–2025. About one in 97 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

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, May 27, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 11,291 westbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,890. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,578 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,774 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Doris Ave between Holmes Ave and Olive Ave (205 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 12,300 vehicles a day. Kenneth Ave between Holmes Ave and Olive Ave measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Dec 2002).

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

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jan 26, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 5. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places them just outside the 65 m radius.

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.
