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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Sep 28, 2021

The north leg carries the load — 3,376 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 330. Most cyclists arrived from the north (216 of 398). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 959 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,020 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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 counter on Paton Rd between Lansdowne Ave and Wade Ave (80 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Paton Rd · Lansdowne Ave – Wade Ave · 80 mApr 2012 · 3 days58032 km/h42 km/h47 km/h
Lansdowne Ave · Paton Rd – Wallace Ave · 101 mApr 2010 · 3 days10,231

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

2023 was the peak year (5 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 4% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

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. 4 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Jun 8, 2015.

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 nine thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 0.7 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
