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, Oct 24, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 12,360 westbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 6,369. Most cyclists arrived from the west (66 of 153). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,197 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 30% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (2,462). Trucks and buses were 6.0% 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 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Billy Bishop Way between Wilson Ave and Dufferin St (270 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 9,700 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Billy Bishop Way · Wilson Ave – Dufferin St · 270 mNov 2023 · 3 days9,69852 km/h59 km/h64 km/h

Transit Rd · Wilson Ave – Transit Rd Allen S Ramp · 394 mOct 2010 · 3 days6,902

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 26, 2014.

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
