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 — 8-hour, Apr 28, 2009

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,152 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 1,487 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,489 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,186 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Bishop Ave between Longmore St and Maxome Ave, 217 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2011 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,600 vehicles a day. Maxome Ave between Finch Corridor Trl and Gustav Cres measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Mar 2026). The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Maxome Ave (145 m away, 30 km/h limit), 14% of the 51,106 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
