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)

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 13,697 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 34% of the total, against 6,696 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 3,762 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 2,842 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% 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

The City's most recent midblock count on Finch Ave E between Victoria Park Ave and Pharmacy Ave (229 m away, Oct 2011) recorded volume only — about 39,207 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Finch Ave E · Victoria Park Ave – Pharmacy Ave · 229 mOct 2011 · 3 days39,207
Victoria Park Ave · Van Horne Ave – Ernest Ave · 305 mDec 2013 · 3 days12,462

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
