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, Sep 26, 2007

The east leg carries the load — 371 westbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 10. Morning rush is the busier period: 222 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 146 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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 Durant Ave between Cosburn Ave and Plains Rd (315 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 2-day count in July 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Coxwell Ave (200 m away, 40 km/h limit), 7.9% of the 139,151 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem. 11 speed humps slow traffic on Memorial Park Avenue between Donlands Ave and Durant Ave (installed 2004).

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
