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, Aug 22, 2005

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 357 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 102 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 132 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 94 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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

On Redwood Ave between Luella Price Lane and Walpole Ave, 158 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2005 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. Walpole Ave between Lane E of Greenwood and S of Walpole and Redwood Ave measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Nov 2021). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Redwood Avenue between Walpole Ave and Gerrard St E (installed 2007).

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

Four 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.
