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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Apr 30, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,696 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 3,012 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (153 of 262). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,900 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,843 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Sunnyside Ave between Parkdale Rd and Galley Ave, 387 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2024 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 1,300 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
The Queensway · Queen St W – Sunnyside Ave · 96 mSep 2012 · 3 days20,178
Sunnyside Ave · Parkdale Rd – Galley Ave · 387 mOct 2024 · 3 days1,33929 km/h35 km/h39 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

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.
