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 — 14-hour, Apr 8, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 257 southbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 5. Most cyclists arrived from the north (51 of 92). Morning rush is the busier period: 63 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 55 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 17 months 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

The City's counter on Havelock St between Lindsey Ave and Sylvan Ave (62 m away) recorded an average of 24 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 33 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. Lindsey Ave between Lane W of Dufferin and S of Lindsey and Sheridan Ave measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 32 km/h (Sep 2025). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Lindsey Avenue between Dufferin St and Havelock St.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 83% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.
