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, Mar 19, 2008

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,909 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 36 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,215 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,062 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.1% 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 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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

On Weston Rd between Birdstone Cres and Gunns Rd, 256 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2024 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 56 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 33,200 vehicles a day.

Weston Rd · Birdstone Cres – Gunns Rd · 256 mNov 2024 · 3 days33,23146 km/h56 km/h62 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.

All police-reported collisions

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

Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 21, 2026.

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
