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, Apr 30, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 13,224 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 432 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (89 of 178). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,300 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 8% above the afternoon peak from 4:45 p.m. (2,125). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 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

On Yonge St between du Maurier Blvd and Wanless Ave, 362 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2025 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 29,100 vehicles a day. Cranbrooke Ave between Yonge St and Lane W of Yonge and N of Cranbrooke measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Sep 2014). At the school-zone speed sign on Ranleigh Ave (216 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 2,696 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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.

All police-reported collisions

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