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

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,019 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 2,153 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,861 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,318 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.8% 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 Toro Rd between Keele St and Tangiers Rd (115 m away, Sep 2009) recorded volume only — about 6,350 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Toro Rd · Keele St – Tangiers Rd · 115 mSep 2009 · 3 days6,350
Keele St · Broadoaks Dr – Le Page Crt · 235 mMay 2013 · 3 days23,332

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

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.
