The latest City count averages about 2,880 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 2.5× the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 9 vehicles, in line with the citywide pattern. That comes with about 54 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 13.3 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 2.7× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 31%, from 318 in 2016–2020 to 219 in 2021–2025. About one in 179 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 — 14-hour, Oct 18, 2025 (a weekend day)

The south leg carries the load — 13,714 northbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 7,246. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,697 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 29% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,855). Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Avenue Rd between Heath St W and Lonsdale Rd (360 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 2-day count in July 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 18,100 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
St Clair Ave W · Foxbar Rd – Avenue Rd · 31 mMay 2011 · 3 days9,799
Avenue Rd · Heath St W – Lonsdale Rd · 360 mJul 2023 · 2 days18,09444 km/h53 km/h59 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.
