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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Sep 24, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 7,581 northbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,680. Most cyclists arrived from the south (292 of 576). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,654 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 30% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,272). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years 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 Yonge St between Millwood Rd and Imperial St (26 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 18,300 vehicles a day. Imperial St between Duplex Ave and Colin Ave measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Mar 2018).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Yonge St · Millwood Rd – Imperial St · 26 mJun 2025 · 3 days18,25932 km/h43 km/h49 km/h
Imperial St · Duplex Ave – Colin Ave · 196 mMar 2018 · 3 days2,51436 km/h42 km/h45 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

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 three thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
