Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jan 31, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,443 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 651 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,559 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,323 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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

On Southvale Dr between Hanna Rd and Rolph Rd, 392 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2022 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,000 vehicles a day. Millwood Rd between Krawchuk Lane and Malcolm Rd measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Sep 2022). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Millwood Rd · Krawchuk Lane – Malcolm Rd · 72 mSep 2022 · 3 days21,86131 km/h39 km/h43 km/h
Southvale Dr · Hanna Rd – Rolph Rd · 392 mSep 2022 · 3 days11,04138 km/h44 km/h48 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
