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 30, 2022

The west leg carries the load — 775 eastbound vehicles, or 58% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 61. Morning rush is the busier period: 280 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:30 a.m., compared with 228 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 George St between Hillside Ave and Mimico Ave (120 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. Hillside Ave between Central St and George St measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Nov 2021). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on George Street between Hillside Ave and Mimico Ave.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner
