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, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 14,301 westbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,295. Most cyclists arrived from the east (31 of 65). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,708 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,367). Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% 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 Duval Dr between Quinan Dr and North Park Dr (189 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lawrence Ave W · Redberry Pkwy – Duval Dr · 47 mNov 2011 · 3 days19,912
Duval Dr · Quinan Dr – North Park Dr · 189 mMar 2023 · 3 days1,03039 km/h48 km/h53 km/h

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

2016 was the peak year (35 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 21% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 39 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 30% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.
