The latest City count averages about 1,540 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 1.33× the median counted intersection. Pedestrians outnumber vehicles 1.1 to 1 — rare for a Toronto intersection, where the median is one pedestrian for every 13 vehicles. Cyclists were 21.0% of vehicle volume, about 27× the typical share. On average 34 collisions a year were reported here in 2016–2025 — 15.6 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 3.1× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 32%, from 200 in 2016–2020 to 136 in 2021–2025. About one in 168 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, Jul 25, 2026 (a weekend day)

The north leg carries the load — 6,397 southbound vehicles, or 30% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 4,294. Most cyclists arrived from the west (2,109 of 4,521). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,917 vehicles in the hour from 6:30 p.m., 29% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,487). Heavy vehicles made up 0.7% 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.

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 most recent midblock count on Bathurst St between Bloor St W and Lane 1 N of Bloor and E of Bathurst (22 m away, May 2015) recorded volume only — about 10,402 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Borden St (378 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.1% of the 16,108 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
