The latest City count averages about 1,720 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 1.49× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 27 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 6.3 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 2.6 per 10,000 counted vehicles, below the median rate of 5.0. Collisions fell 20%, from 35 in 2016–2020 to 28 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 63 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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, Mar 10, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,694 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 1,330 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,155 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,297 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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

On Bathurst St between Timberlane Dr and Danby Ave, 164 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2008 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 61 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,500 vehicles a day. York Downs Dr between Armour Blvd and Bathurst St measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Oct 2025). The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
York Downs Dr · Armour Blvd – Bathurst St · 88 mOct 2025 · 3 days3,14832 km/h39 km/h43 km/h
Bathurst St · Timberlane Dr – Danby Ave · 164 mSep 2008 · 2 days15,53150 km/h61 km/h68 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
