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, Feb 24, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,307 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 97 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,669 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 2,422 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Mount Pleasant Rd between Inglewood Dr and Glenrose Ave, 112 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2023 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 21,000 vehicles a day.

Mount Pleasant Rd · Inglewood Dr – Glenrose Ave · 112 mJun 2023 · 7 days20,98249 km/h58 km/h64 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

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Sep 14, 2015. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Rosedale-Moore Park.
