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, May 21, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 12,288 eastbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 301. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,418 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (2,198). 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 16 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 Bloor St W between Poplar Ave and Wilmar Rd (129 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2003; 85% of drivers were at or under 56 km/h. That segment carries about 19,700 vehicles a day. Martin Grove Rd between Bloor St W and Mervyn Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Oct 2021). The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Martin Grove Rd · Bloor St W – Mervyn Ave · 116 mOct 2021 · 24 h60938 km/h45 km/h50 km/h
Bloor St W · Poplar Ave – Wilmar Rd · 129 mNov 2003 · 24 h19,71448 km/h56 km/h62 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.
