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, Jul 25, 2024

The south leg carries the load — 9,932 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 305. Most cyclists arrived from the north (118 of 246). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,985 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 55% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (1,280). Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Edge Park Ave and Kingswell Cres (51 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 17,900 vehicles a day. Edge Park Ave between Victoria Park Ave and Harris Park Dr measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Mar 2026). The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Pharmacy Ave · Edge Park Ave – Kingswell Cres · 51 mApr 2014 · 24 h17,94851 km/h59 km/h65 km/h
Edge Park Ave · Victoria Park Ave – Harris Park Dr · 329 mMar 2026 · 3 days1,84239 km/h46 km/h51 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.
