None of them involved a death or serious injury.

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 26, 2015

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 948 eastbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 296. Most cyclists arrived from the west (46 of 97). Morning rush is the busier period: 337 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 309 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 16.5% 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 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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 St Clarens Ave between Lane N of Wallace and E of St Clarens and Lane S of Lappin and E of Lansdowne (152 m away) recorded an average of 25 km/h in its 7-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 32 km/h. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. Wallace Ave between Pauline Ave and Brock Ave measured slower: 22 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Apr 2026). 5 speed humps slow traffic on St Clarens Avenue between Bloor St W and Wallace Ave, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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 12 thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
