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, Oct 14, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 853 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 243 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 437 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 311 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 Gladstone Ave between Lane N of Shanly and E of Gladstone and Lane S of Hallam and W of Gladstone Ave, 185 m from the corner, a 2-day count in March 2020 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. Hallam St between Bartlett Ave and Gladstone Ave measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Sep 2021). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Gladstone Avenue between Bloor St W and Hallam St, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

14 thefts from vehicles and nine bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 10, 2026.
