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, Nov 4, 2020

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 738 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 142 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (98 of 215). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 279 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 281 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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

On Durie St between St John's Rd and Lane S of Dundas and E of Durie, 116 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2013 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. St John's Rd between Gilmour Ave and Fisken Ave measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (May 2026). The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Rexford Dr (180 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 3,280 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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

Two thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.
