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, Jan 23, 1996

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 5,225 vehicles entering from the west to 5,619 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,497 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,559 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 31 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1996, 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

The City's counter on Davenport Rd between Salem Ave N and Bartlett Ave N (51 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 12,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Dufferin St (352 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 90,770 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Salem Avenue North between Geary Ave and Davenport Rd.

Traffic calming

  • Salem Avenue North · Geary Ave – Davenport Rd
    5 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.1 a year before that. 71% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
