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, Nov 30, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 9,968 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 94. Morning rush is the busier period: 2,927 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 2,661 from 2:00 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 3 years 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 Gerry Fitzgerald Dr between Dufferin St and Steeles Ave W (221 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 5,400 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Gerry Fitzgerald Dr · Dufferin St – Steeles Ave W · 221 mApr 2023 · 3 days5,44249 km/h58 km/h64 km/h
Dufferin St · Gerry Fitzgerald Dr – Steeles Ave W · 381 mJun 2016 · 3 days50,226

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

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jul 12, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 2. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it 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.
