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, Mar 28, 2006

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 229 northbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 51. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 77 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 20% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (64). Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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

The City's counter on Cardiff Rd between Eglinton Ave E and Roehampton Ave (149 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. Fairfield Rd between Rawlinson Ave and Cardiff Rd measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Aug 2011). The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Fairfield Road between Rawlinson Ave and Cardiff Rd.

    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.
