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, Feb 24, 2022

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 4,671 vehicles entering from the east to 4,883 from the west. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,544 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 26% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,225). Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Eastern Ave between Lane W of Rushbrooke and N of Eastern and Rushbrooke Ave (150 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 13,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Larchmount Avenue between Queen St E and Eastern Ave.

Traffic calming

  • Larchmount Avenue · Queen St E – Eastern Ave
    5 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 two thefts from vehicles and ten bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 0 in 2023–2025, about 0.0 a year, against 1.7 a year before that. 50% of the bike thefts were from other premises. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 7, 2026.
