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 — 14-hour, Jun 30, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 13,936 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,040. Most cyclists arrived from the east (80 of 176). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,395 vehicles in the hour from 2:45 p.m., 34% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,787). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Sinnott Rd between Sherry Rd and Civic Rd (312 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2015; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 3,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Eglinton Ave E · Thermos Rd – Sinnott Rd · 22 mMar 2013 · 3 days22,092
Sinnott Rd · Sherry Rd – Civic Rd · 312 mMar 2015 · 24 h3,78638 km/h47 km/h54 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jan 23, 2013.

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
