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 — 14-hour, Nov 29, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,256 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 1,030 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,194 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,445 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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

On Victoria Park Ave between Biscayne Blvd and Elvaston Dr, 69 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2022 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 17,500 vehicles a day. Elvaston Dr between Wigmore Dr and Tufton Cres measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Dec 2018). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Victoria Park Ave · Biscayne Blvd – Elvaston Dr · 69 mSep 2022 · 3 days17,48145 km/h54 km/h59 km/h
Elvaston Dr · Wigmore Dr – Tufton Cres · 193 mDec 2018 · 7 days4,32339 km/h44 km/h49 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.
