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, May 22, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 2,341 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 300. Most cyclists arrived from the east (77 of 118). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 415 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 411 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% 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.

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 most recent midblock count on Roxborough St E between Yonge St and Chestnut Pk (391 m away, Jan 2008) recorded volume only — about 2,226 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Roxborough St E · Yonge St – Chestnut Pk · 391 mJan 2008 · 3 days2,226

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

2024 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 0% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 38% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 8, 2026.

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 14 thefts from vehicles and ten bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 3.0 a year before that. 64% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 60% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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.
