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, May 2, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,157 northbound vehicles, or 69% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 231. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 340 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 67% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (204). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% 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. 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

The City's counter on Algonquin Ave between Indian Rd and Parkside Dr (95 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. Indian Rd between Wright Ave and High Park Blvd measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Apr 2024). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Sunnyside Ave (219 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 58,140 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

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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

Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.
