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, Apr 20, 2009

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 4,517 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 270. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,499 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,284). Trucks and buses were 10.6% 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 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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 Pharmacy Ave between Stellarton Rd and Clairlea Cres (347 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 21,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on St Clair Ave E (307 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 65,472 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Eastgate Crescent between Pharmacy Ave and St Clair Ave E.

Traffic calming

  • Eastgate Crescent · Pharmacy Ave – St Clair Ave E
    4 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

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
