The latest City count averages about 1,460 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 1.26× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 6 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 6.0% of vehicle volume, about 7.7× the typical share. That comes with about 16 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 7.9 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.58× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 50%, from 107 in 2016–2020 to 53 in 2021–2025. No one was killed or seriously injured in any of them.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Sep 10, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 13,046 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 64% of the total, against 3,238 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (589 of 1,219). Evening rush dominates here: 1,923 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:30 p.m., against 1,287 in the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 E between Parliament St and Power St, 44 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2017 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Adelaide St E · Parliament St – Power St · 44 mOct 2017 · 3 days11,37250 km/h58 km/h63 km/h
Parliament St · Mill St – Front St E · 307 mFeb 2020 · 7 days13,047

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

The worst year was 2016, with 29 collisions; 2025 recorded 11. 27 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 21, 2026.

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 Dec 16, 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

Three thefts from vehicles and 13 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.6 a year. 62% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 5, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
