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 5, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,354 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 642 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,397 of 2,734). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,449 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,554 from 6:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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

On Adelaide St W between Bathurst St and Joseph Salsberg Lane, 52 m from the corner, a 3-day count in July 2024 put the average speed at 23 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 33 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 37 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. Adelaide Pl measured slower: 12 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 21 km/h (Nov 2022).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Adelaide Pl · 118 mNov 2022 · 3 days15012 km/h21 km/h25 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jul 12, 2007.

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
