Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 4 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. That comes with about 2.8 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions rose 15%, from 13 in 2016–2020 to 15 in 2021–2025. No one was killed or seriously injured in any of them.

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, Nov 22, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,149 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 81 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (33 of 65). Evening rush dominates here: 789 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 621 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.1% 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 4 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 Pape Ave between Riverdale Ave and Withrow Ave, 146 m from the corner, a 3-day count in December 2018 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,500 vehicles a day. Bain Ave between Carlaw Ave and Lane W of Pape and N of Bain measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Mar 2020). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Riverdale Ave (229 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 23,049 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Bain Avenue between Carlaw Ave and Pape Ave.

Traffic calming

    3 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 13, 2008.

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

Nine thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 1.0 a year before that. 56% of the vehicle thefts were from other premises.

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.
