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, Sep 14, 2021

The north leg carries the load — 3,306 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 37. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,010 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,000 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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 Park Lawn Rd between Lorne Ave and Waniska Ave (80 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 13,400 vehicles a day. Waniska Ave between Frances Ave and Park Lawn Rd measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Sep 2021). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Waniska Ave · Frances Ave – Park Lawn Rd · 55 mSep 2021 · 3 days42134 km/h43 km/h48 km/h
Park Lawn Rd · Lorne Ave – Waniska Ave · 80 mNov 2021 · 24 h13,40348 km/h57 km/h62 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
