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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 4, 2015

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,075 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 50 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,081 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 961 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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

On Queen St E between Woodbine Park Trl and Northern Dancer Blvd, 189 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2006 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day. Lockwood Rd between Queen St E and Dixon Ave measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Sep 2010). The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Queen Street E (372 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 16,776 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 1 speed hump slow traffic on Sarah Ashbridge Avenue between Boardwalk Dr and Lockwood Rd, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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 Mar 1, 2010.

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

Five thefts from vehicles and ten bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.9 a year before that. 40% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages; 40% of the bike thefts were from other premises.
