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 15, 2005

No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 4,860 and 5,145 vehicles. Most cyclists arrived from the east (62 of 130). Evening rush dominates here: 1,747 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,593 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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

On Eastern Ave between Lane W of Rushbrooke and N of Eastern and Rushbrooke Ave, 314 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2022 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,900 vehicles a day. Winnifred Ave between Lane N of Eastern and E of Winnifred and Lane S of Queen and W of Winnifred measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Dec 2018). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Winnifred Avenue between Queen St E and Eastern Ave.

Traffic calming

    3 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

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
