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, Feb 15, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,074 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 4 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 436 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 328 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% 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 2023, 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 Galley Ave between Lane W of Roncesvalles and S of Galley and Lane E of Sunnyside and S of Galley, 86 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2024 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. Sunnyside Ave between Parkdale Rd and Galley Ave measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Oct 2024). At the school-zone speed sign on Sunnyside Ave (78 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 20,258 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

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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

Three thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
