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 — 14-hour, Apr 21, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 5,856 westbound vehicles, or 96% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 248. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,083 of 1,127). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 615 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 27% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (484). Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Richmond St W between Bathurst St and Gershon Iskowitz Lane (380 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. Maud St between St. Andrew's Playground Trl and Richmond St W measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Aug 2026).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Maud St · St. Andrew's Playground Trl – Richmond St W · 39 mAug 2026 · 3 days2,84625 km/h35 km/h39 km/h
Richmond St W · Bathurst St – Gershon Iskowitz Lane · 380 mApr 2024 · 3 days1,62129 km/h37 km/h40 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 nine thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 2.1 a year before that. 78% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 43% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
