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, Sep 30, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 11,868 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 4,784. Most cyclists arrived from the north (448 of 939). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,282 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,921). Trucks and buses were 6.3% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Donlands Ave between Warland Ave and Chilton Rd (139 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 13,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Donlands Ave · Warland Ave – Chilton Rd · 139 mOct 2018 · 3 days13,61547 km/h54 km/h59 km/h
Pape Ave · Lane N of O Connor and E of Pape – Minton Pl · 326 mMay 2015 · 3 days7,468

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 24, 2014. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places them just outside the 65 m radius.

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.
