Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 1,410 vehicles, 1.22× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 2.5 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. That comes with about 5.4 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions fell 41%, from 34 in 2016–2020 to 20 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 54 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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 12, 2017

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,905 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 316 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (45 of 75). Evening rush dominates here: 1,974 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,683 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Glendonwynne Rd between Margdon Rd and Kennedy Park Rd, 149 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2024 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 46 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Runnymede Rd (371 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.0% of the 50,493 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.
