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, May 5, 2026

The south leg carries the load — 3,942 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 64. Most cyclists arrived from the north (766 of 1,838). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 771 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 30% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (593). Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Beverley St between D'arcy St and Baldwin St (56 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 9,600 vehicles a day. Baldwin St between Lane E of Spadina and N of D Arcy and Spadina Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Jan 2020).

Beverley St · D'arcy St – Baldwin St · 56 mMar 2026 · 3 days9,58131 km/h39 km/h43 km/h
Baldwin St · Lane E of Spadina and N of D Arcy – Spadina Ave · 319 mJan 2020 · 3 days87428 km/h34 km/h38 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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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

Toronto Police place five thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 1.0 a year before that. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
