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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Feb 28, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,239 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 596 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 352 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 38% above the afternoon peak from 3:15 p.m. (255). Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Farnham Ave between Woodlawn Ave W and Avenue Rd, 112 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2022 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 37 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Farnham Ave · Woodlawn Ave W – Avenue Rd · 112 mOct 2022 · 3 days2,95330 km/h37 km/h40 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

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

Eight thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 0.6 a year before that. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 15, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
