The latest City count averages about 2,160 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 1.87× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 10 vehicles, close to the citywide median. That comes with about 3.2 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions edged down 12%, from 17 in 2016–2020 to 15 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 32 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. 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, May 24, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,285 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 225 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,477 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,496 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Neptune Dr between Hotspur Rd and Rajah St, 386 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,700 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bathurst St · Bannockburn Ave – Neptune Dr · 13 mMay 2013 · 3 days17,619
Neptune Dr · Hotspur Rd – Rajah St · 386 mApr 2024 · 3 days3,69639 km/h47 km/h52 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.

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.
