Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 1,160 vehicles, about the citywide median. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 1.1 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). Cyclists were 5.0% of vehicle volume, about 6.4× the typical share. That comes with about 3.1 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions fell 28%, from 18 in 2016–2020 to 13 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 31 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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 18, 2018

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 4,188 vehicles entering from the north to 5,091 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the north (312 of 463). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,301 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,222 from 2:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, not today's volume. 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

The City's counter on Hagerman St between Elizabeth St and Bay St (58 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 2-day count in December 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Hagerman St · Elizabeth St – Bay St · 58 mDec 2018 · 2 days73628 km/h34 km/h38 km/h
Bay St · Richmond St W – Queen St W · 337 mMar 2021 · 7 days5,217

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

2023 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 21, 2026.

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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
