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, Nov 9, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 6,473 eastbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 3,192. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,331 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 51% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (880). Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, 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 counter on Davenport Rd between Mc Alpine St and Bishop St (134 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 21,100 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Davenport Rd · Mc Alpine St – Bishop St · 134 mApr 2024 · 3 days21,08537 km/h48 km/h53 km/h
Bay St · Bloor St W – Mayfair Mews · 357 mSep 2019 · 7 days10,845

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Aug 19, 2008.

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 three thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 30, 2026.
