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, Jan 23, 2020

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 979 westbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 351. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 281 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 278 from 2:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.2% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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 Vine Ave between Jackson Pl and Pacific Ave (54 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 2,500 vehicles a day. Pacific Ave between Lane N of Annette and W of Pacific and Lane S of Dundas and E of Pacific measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Oct 2024).

Pacific Ave · Lane N of Annette and W of Pacific – Lane S of Dundas and E of Pacific · 224 mOct 2024 · 3 days3,75730 km/h38 km/h43 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
