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, Dec 15, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,527 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 56 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,265 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,444 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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 2021, 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

The City's most recent midblock count on Keele St between St Regis Cres and Ashwarren Rd (104 m away, May 2013) recorded volume only — about 21,724 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Keele St · St Regis Cres – Ashwarren Rd · 104 mMay 2013 · 3 days21,724

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

The worst year was 2019, with 42 collisions; 2025 recorded 36. 52 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 54 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 27 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 21 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 21, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

None of the four serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 4 pedestrians were among those hurt. 3 of the 4 happened in darkness — 75%, above the citywide 39%. 2025 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Dec 11, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 5. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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.
