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, Sep 11, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 20,511 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 93 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (158 of 272). Evening rush dominates here: 3,662 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 3,152 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 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 Markham Rd between Ellesmere Rd and Tuxedo Crt, 179 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2023 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 56 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,400 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Markham Rd · Ellesmere Rd – Tuxedo Crt · 179 mAug 2023 · 3 days24,37645 km/h56 km/h63 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Nov 11, 2011.

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

Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Feb 13, 2026.
