The latest City count averages about 530 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 46% of the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 5 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 2.5% of vehicle volume, about 3.2× the typical share. That comes with about 6.5 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 2.1× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. Collisions edged down 9%, from 34 in 2016–2020 to 31 in 2021–2025. No one was killed or seriously injured in any of them.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. 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 — 8-hour, Nov 16, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,528 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 84% of the total, against 696 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (103 of 104). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 658 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 22% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (540). 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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Maud St between St. Andrew's Playground Trl and Richmond St W, 104 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2026 put the average speed at 25 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,800 vehicles a day. Adelaide Pl measured slower: 12 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 21 km/h (Nov 2022).

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

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 Oct 2, 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

16 thefts from vehicles and 15 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 3.6 a year before that. 94% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 40% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 8, 2026.
