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 29, 2002

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 5,440 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 193. Most cyclists arrived from the north (41 of 71). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,925 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (1,692). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 24 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2002, 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

The City's counter on Woodbine Ave between Walkway S of Queen and W of Woodbine and Woodbine Mews (353 m away) recorded an average of 56 km/h in its 3-day count in January 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 64 km/h. That segment carries about 30,000 vehicles a day. Dixon Ave between Brookmount Rd and Rainsford Rd measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Sep 2010). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Queen Street E (225 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 16,776 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
