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, Jan 28, 2004

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,783 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 117 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,010 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 820 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2004, 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

On Hollywood Cres between Wildwood Cres and Ladykirk Ave, 219 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2025 put the average speed at 22 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 30 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 34 km/h or more. That segment carries about 200 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Gerrard St E (94 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.0% of the 89,176 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
