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, Apr 6, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 454 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 262 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 197 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 141 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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

On Lynn Williams St between Western Battery Rd and East Liberty St, 194 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2022 put the average speed at 26 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 34 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. Pirandello St between Liberty Village Park Trl and Lynn Williams St measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 30 km/h (Apr 2022). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Pirandello St · Liberty Village Park Trl – Lynn Williams St · 15 mApr 2022 · 3 days2,45723 km/h30 km/h34 km/h
Lynn Williams St · Western Battery Rd – East Liberty St · 194 mApr 2022 · 3 days2,22426 km/h34 km/h39 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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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

Ten thefts from vehicles and 28 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 6.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 21, 2026.
