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, Apr 19, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 703 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 144. Morning rush is the busier period: 307 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 243 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 St Germain Ave between Barse St and Bathurst St (250 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 24-hour count in July 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. Falkirk St between St Germain Ave and Marmion Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (May 2018). The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Falkirk St · St Germain Ave – Marmion Ave · 45 mMay 2018 · 3 days2,19233 km/h39 km/h44 km/h
St Germain Ave · Barse St – Bathurst St · 250 mJul 2010 · 24 h69233 km/h44 km/h49 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

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.
