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, Feb 1, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,921 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 2,058 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,039 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,138 from 4:00 p.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 5 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 Keele St between Dundas St W and Lane N of Dundas and E of Keele, 266 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2024 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 38,200 vehicles a day. Junction Rd between Lane E of Keele and S of Hirons and Keele St measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Apr 2015).

Keele St · Dundas St W – Lane N of Dundas and E of Keele · 266 mNov 2024 · 3 days38,16933 km/h44 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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

Four thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
