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, Mar 14, 2007

The south leg carries the load — 3,387 northbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 151. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 932 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (855). Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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

The City's counter on Woodville Ave between Hassard Ave and Lane W of Pape and N of Torrens (81 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Woodville Avenue between Pape Ave and Broadview Ave.

Traffic calming

  • Woodville Avenue · Pape Ave – Broadview Ave
    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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 24, 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.
