Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 4 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. That comes with about 2.6 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions fell 38%, from 16 in 2016–2020 to 10 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 26 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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, Mar 30, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,502 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 8 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 646 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 643 from 5:00 p.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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Jameson Ave between Leopold St and Laxton Ave, 50 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2026 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,000 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Jameson Ave (61 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 56,358 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 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.
