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, Sep 20, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,050 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 696 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 446 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 330 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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

On Parkdale Rd between Lane W of Sunnyside and S of Garden and Glendale Ave, 77 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2024 put the average speed at 26 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 34 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. Glendale Ave between The Queensway and Merrick St measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 28 km/h (Nov 2024). At the school-zone speed sign on Sunnyside Ave (203 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 20,258 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
