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).

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 7, 2026

Evening rush dominates here: 2,432 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,620 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 Eglinton Ave W between Glenhaven St and Kane Ave, 384 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2022 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 61 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Eglinton Ave W · Glenhaven St – Kane Ave · 384 mOct 2022 · 3 days19,33049 km/h61 km/h67 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

The worst year was 2024, with 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 13. 13 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 28 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 35% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.
