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 — 8-hour, Oct 13, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,233 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 607 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,217 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,223 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On St John's Rd between Gilmour Ave and Fisken Ave, 167 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Rexford Dr (391 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 3,280 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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 Apr 15, 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

Two thefts from vehicles and four bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jan 7, 2026.
