Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Feb 23, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 5,398 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 2,789. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,787 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 34% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,329). Trucks and buses were 8.7% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 William Kitchen Rd between Progress Ave and Hwy 401 Collectors E (306 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 2-day count in August 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 18,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Progress Ave · William Kitchen Rd – Midland Ave · 56 mSep 2022 · 7 days23,031
William Kitchen Rd · Progress Ave – Hwy 401 Collectors E · 306 mAug 2018 · 2 days18,53344 km/h52 km/h58 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

Toronto Police place 13 thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 8 in 2023–2025, about 2.7 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 54% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 80% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 24, 2026.
