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, Jul 28, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 4,316 southbound vehicles, or 58% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 719. Most cyclists arrived from the north (439 of 816). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 992 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,011 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 Yonge St between Roxborough St E and Roxborough St W (23 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 9,500 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Yonge St · Roxborough St E – Roxborough St W · 23 mJun 2023 · 24 h9,51332 km/h42 km/h47 km/h
Roxborough St E · Yonge St – Chestnut Pk · 45 mJan 2008 · 3 days2,226

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
