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, Mar 4, 2025

The south leg carries the load — 3,928 northbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 654. Most cyclists arrived from the south (31 of 67). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 937 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 26% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (744). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 18 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

The City's counter on Duplex Ave between Orchard View Blvd and Helendale Ave (50 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 10,500 vehicles a day. Orchard View Blvd between Yonge St and Duplex Ave measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Apr 2011). The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Roehampton Ave (345 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 93,246 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Orchard View Boulevard between Duplex Ave and Edith Dr.

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 five thefts from vehicles and 13 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
