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 — 14-hour, Jan 13, 2026

The west leg carries the load — 1,636 eastbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 687. Morning rush is the busier period: 610 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 559 from 3:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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

The City's counter on Old Forest Hill Rd between Hilltop Rd and Old Park Rd (143 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 5-day count in November 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 3,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Old Forest Hill Road between Eglinton Ave W and Hilltop Rd, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

Traffic calming

    6 speed humps
  • Old Forest Hill Road · Hilltop Rd – Glenarden Rd
    5 speed humps

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.
