The latest City count averages about 2,540 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 2.2× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 2.5 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. That comes with about 78 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 22.0 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 4.4× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 22%, from 438 in 2016–2020 to 343 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 781 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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 18, 2025 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 12,615 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 5,774 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 3,068 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,670 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 most recent midblock count on Bathurst St between St Clair Ave W and Albert Wiggan Lane (27 m away, Mar 2016) recorded volume only — about 16,323 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bathurst St · St Clair Ave W – Albert Wiggan Lane · 27 mMar 2016 · 7 days16,323
St Clair Ave W · Hilton Ave – Bathurst St · 48 mMay 2011 · 3 days9,252

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

The worst year was 2018, with 117 collisions; 2025 recorded 66. 57 collisions (7%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 93 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 16 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 46 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 29, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Nov 5, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
