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, Feb 16, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,520 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 184 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,825 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,500 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 11.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Warden Ave between Walbon Rd and Castille Ave, 244 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2018 put the average speed at 62 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 69 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 25,900 vehicles a day. Sherwood Ave between Babcock Rd and Warden Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Sep 2023). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Sherwood Ave · Babcock Rd – Warden Ave · 62 mSep 2023 · 3 days78435 km/h44 km/h49 km/h
Warden Ave · Walbon Rd – Castille Ave · 244 mMar 2018 · 3 days25,87462 km/h69 km/h74 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.
