The latest City count averages about 950 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 83% of the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 39 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). Cyclists were 2.1% of vehicle volume, about 2.8× the typical share. That comes with about 4.3 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions fell 41%, from 27 in 2016–2020 to 16 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 43 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 — 8-hour, Jun 21, 2006

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,278 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 1,518 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,288 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 978 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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

On Dupont St between Lane W of St George and S of Dupont and Huron St, 331 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2004 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bedford Rd · Bernard Ave – Davenport Rd · 289 mMar 1995 · 24 h10,476
Dupont St · Lane W of St George and S of Dupont – Huron St · 331 mAug 2004 · 3 days24,34640 km/h50 km/h57 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.
