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, Nov 25, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 5,107 eastbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 561. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 911 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 949 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 counter on Vaughan Rd between Wychwood Ave and Pinewood Ave (243 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 9,700 vehicles a day. Kenwood Ave between Maplewood Ave and Lauretta Brooks Lane measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Jun 2004). The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Vaughan Rd (297 m away, 30 km/h limit), 40% of the 126,771 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Kenwood Avenue between Maplewood Ave and Vaughan Rd (installed 2006).

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jan 11, 2008.

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

Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.4 a year. 57% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 43% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.
