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, Oct 23, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 7,921 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,821. Most cyclists arrived from the south (151 of 323). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,476 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,283). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 23 months 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 Royal York Rd between Thompson Ave and Glenroy Ave (27 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 7,100 vehicles a day. Glenroy Ave between Elsfield Rd and Humbervale Blvd measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Jun 2019). The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Glenroy Avenue between Prince Edward Dr S and Royal York Rd.

Traffic calming

    4 speed humps

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.
