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, Jul 9, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,720 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 291 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (281 of 650). Evening rush dominates here: 790 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 670 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% 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 Jones Ave between Strathcona Ave and Harcourt Ave, 86 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2017 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,400 vehicles a day. Strathcona Ave between Lane E of Pape and S of Strathcona and Blake St measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Apr 2024). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Jones Ave (72 m away, 40 km/h limit), 5.0% of the 97,144 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 9, 2015. 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 Blake-Jones.
