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 — 8-hour, Oct 13, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 2,046 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 103. Most cyclists arrived from the north (112 of 214). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 598 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (501). Trucks and buses were 7.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.

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 Ossington Ave between Foxley St and Lane N of Foxley and W of Ossington (348 m away) recorded an average of 25 km/h in its 7-day count in September 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 8,800 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Ossington Ave · Foxley St – Lane N of Foxley and W of Ossington · 348 mSep 2025 · 7 days8,83925 km/h34 km/h39 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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

Toronto Police place 15 thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.7 a year. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
