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, May 2, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,053 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 244 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 751 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 552 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Murray Ross Pkwy between Keele St and York University Busway, 125 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2023 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,500 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Murray Ross Pkwy · Keele St – York University Busway · 125 mMay 2023 · 3 days6,54340 km/h47 km/h52 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
