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, May 6, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,168 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 28% of the total, against 884 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 588 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 434 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 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

On Rumsey Rd between Donlea Dr and Divadale Dr, 51 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2022 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 42 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day. Donlea Dr between Rumsey Rd and Sutherland Dr measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Sep 2025). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Eglinton Ave E (250 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.0% of the 666 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Donlea Drive between Rumsey Rd and Sutherland Dr (installed 2024).

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
