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, Mar 12, 2020

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 6,534 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 104. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,955 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 20% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,628). Trucks and buses were 13.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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.

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 counter on St Clair Ave W between Mondovi Gt and Symes Rd (367 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 18,200 vehicles a day.

St Clair Ave W · Mondovi Gt – Symes Rd · 367 mJul 2023 · 3 days18,18644 km/h53 km/h58 km/h

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.
