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, May 6, 2015

The south leg carries the load — 3,754 northbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 270. Most cyclists arrived from the north (33 of 69). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,278 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,097). Trucks and buses were 5.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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.

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 counter on Warden Ave between Bamblett Dr and Cataraqui Cres (268 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 13,100 vehicles a day. Mack Ave between Elba Ave and Danforth Rd measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 51 km/h (Oct 2004). At the school-zone speed sign on Warden Ave (31 m away, 50 km/h limit), 2.1% of the 143,333 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
