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 — 14-hour, Dec 5, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 1,038 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 154. Morning rush is the busier period: 385 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 325 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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

The City's counter on Grand Ave between Melrose St and Algoma St (48 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 2,600 vehicles a day. Algoma St between Milton St and Wesley St measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Oct 2025). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Grand Ave · Melrose St – Algoma St · 48 mNov 2022 · 3 days2,64443 km/h52 km/h57 km/h
Algoma St · Milton St – Wesley St · 319 mOct 2025 · 3 days61334 km/h43 km/h48 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

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.
