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, Mar 24, 2024 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 4,577 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 1,042 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (77 of 169). Evening rush dominates here: 896 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 680 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Lansdowne Ave between Lane 2 S of Bloor and E of Lansdowne and Lane S of Bloor and W of Lansdowne, 294 m from the corner, a 7-day count in September 2025 put the average speed at 37 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 11,900 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Lansdowne Ave (92 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 30,725 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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 2022, with 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 4 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.

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 Mar 28, 2012.

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

13 thefts from vehicles and ten bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.3 a year. 77% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 60% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.
