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, Jul 25, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 3,890 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 183. Most cyclists arrived from the west (350 of 524). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,241 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,139). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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.

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 Dundas St E between Brooklyn Ave and Lane E of Brooklyn and S of Dundas (59 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 14,400 vehicles a day. Bertmount Ave between Queen St E and Mallon Ave measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 32 km/h (Sep 2011). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Bertmount Avenue between Queen St E and Dundas St E.

Traffic calming

    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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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

Toronto Police place 14 thefts from vehicles and 12 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
