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 — 14-hour, May 29, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 20,216 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 1,574 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 4,012 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 3,289 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Allenby Ave between Burrard Rd and Conan Rd, 270 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Islington Ave · Allenby Ave – Hwy 401 Collectors W · 7 mOct 2014 · 7 days17,645
Allenby Ave · Burrard Rd – Conan Rd · 270 mApr 2025 · 3 days1,48234 km/h43 km/h49 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

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.
