Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 16, 2014

The north leg carries the load — 5,012 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 15. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,189 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 65% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,327). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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 most recent midblock count on Valhalla Inn Rd between The East Mall and Hwy 427 Collectors N (109 m away, Jun 2007) recorded volume only — about 3,785 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on The East Mall (1/2) (280 m away, 30 km/h limit), 81% of the 169,321 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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
