Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Oct 29, 2020

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 9,445 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 993. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,600 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,373). Trucks and buses were 12.4% 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 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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 Lawrence Ave W between Englemount Ave and Shermount Ave (121 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 3-day count in December 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 30,700 vehicles a day. Englemount Ave between Fraserwood Ave and Reddick Crt measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Jun 2003).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Englemount Ave · Fraserwood Ave – Reddick Crt · 308 mJun 2003 · 3 days2,55140 km/h49 km/h54 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.
