Greenwood & Plains

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 20, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 1,555 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 400. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 587 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 28% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (460). Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 460 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 587 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2024 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 11% of collisions here involved an injury. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 26% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 11% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 19, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Nov 30, 2021. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

Speeds here, last measured in 2022

The City's counter on Plains Rd between Northbrook Rd and Athlone Rd (128 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Greenwood Ave between Plains Rd and O'connor Dr measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Apr 2022) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Greenwood Avenue between O'Connor Dr and Plains Rd, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

24 registered apartment buildings with 1,407 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 338-342 Donlands Ave (358 m, 36 units, 3 storeys, built 1949), which scored 97 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

24 registered buildings · 1,407 units · 3 social housing · tallest 12 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Old East York.
