Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 27 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 17 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 5.6× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. The pace has been steady: 87 collisions in 2016–2020 and 87 in 2021–2025. About one in 87 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

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, Feb 15, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,309 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 86% of the total, against 537 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,398 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 918 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% 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 2023, 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

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

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
