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, Jan 24, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 286 westbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 190. Morning rush is the busier period: 100 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 90 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 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

The City's counter on Melrose St between Lane W of Royal York and N of Melrose and Carnarvon Ave (117 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Melrose St · Lane W of Royal York and N of Melrose – Carnarvon Ave · 117 mAug 2023 · 3 days69437 km/h48 km/h54 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.
