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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Oct 21, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 704 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 479 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 315 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 275 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 Dwight Ave between Maple Blvd and Heman St, 324 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,700 vehicles a day. Symons St between Royal York Rd and Dwight Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Nov 2021).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Symons St · Royal York Rd – Dwight Ave · 206 mNov 2021 · 3 days83037 km/h44 km/h49 km/h
Dwight Ave · Maple Blvd – Heman St · 324 mMay 2026 · 3 days2,66040 km/h48 km/h53 km/h

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.
